\u201cThe fruit of the Spirit is\u2026temperance\u2026\u201d (Gal. 5:23<\/a>)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The preferred rendering of this last fruit of the Spirit is self-control. Temperance has become associated particularly with restraint in the use of intoxicating drinks. Self-control carries the thought of moderation or abstinence in every area of life.<\/p>\n By the power of the Holy Spirit, the believer is enabled to exercise self-control over his thought life, his appetite for food and drink, his speech, his sex life, his temper and every other power that God has given him. He need not be enslaved by any passion or desire.<\/p>\n Paul reminded the Corinthians that an athlete practices self-control in all things (1 Cor. 9:25<\/a>). He himself was determined that he would not be enslaved by anything (1 Cor. 6:12<\/a>) and so he pommeled his body and subdued it, lest after preaching to others, he himself should be disqualified (See 1 Cor. 9:27<\/a> RSV).<\/p>\n The disciplined Christian avoids overeating. If coffee, tea or Cokes have a grip on him, he kicks the habit. He refuses to be mastered by tobacco in any form. He carefully avoids use of tranquilizers, sleeping pills or other pharmaceuticals, except where medically prescribed. He controls the time given to sleeping. If he is plagued by the problem of lust, he learns to expel impure thoughts, concentrate on a clean thought life, and keep busy with constructive activity. To him every addiction or besetting sin is a Goliath to be conquered.<\/p>\n We often hear Christians complain that they can\u2019t break a certain habit. Such defeatism guarantees failure. It means that the Holy Spirit is not able to give the needed victory. The fact is that unconverted people, who do not have the Spirit, are often able to quit smoking or drinking or gambling or swearing. How much more easily should Christians be able to do it through the indwelling Spirit!<\/p>\n Self-control, like the other eight fruits of the Spirit, is supernatural. It enables believers to exercise discipline over themselves in ways that others cannot match.<\/p>\n \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bcd 10<\/p>\n \u0b86\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd

M\u00e4rz<\/p>\n \u00bbDie Frucht des Geistes aber ist: \u2026 Enthaltsamkeit \u2026\u00ab\u00a0Galater 5,22<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Diese letztgenannte Frucht des Heiligen Geistes wird h\u00e4ufig auch mit \u00bbSelbstbeherrschung\u00a0\u00ab wiedergegeben (u.a. auch Fu\u00dfnoten der Elberfelder \u00dcbersetzung).Bei \u00bbEnthaltsamkeit\u00ab denken wir meist nur an Zur\u00fcckhaltung\u00a0im Gebrauch von\u00a0alkoholischen Getr\u00e4nken. Selbstbeherrschung meint aber M\u00e4\u00dfigung, Zucht und\u00a0Verzicht, und zwar bezogen auf jeden Lebensbereich.<\/p>\n Durch die Kraft des Heiligen Geistes kann der Gl\u00e4ubige seine Gedankenwelt\u00a0unter\u00a0Kontrolle bringen, seine Ess- und Trinklust, sein Reden, seine Geschlechtlichkeit,\u00a0sein Temperament und alle anderen nat\u00fcrlichen F\u00e4higkeiten, die Gott ihm gegeben\u00a0hat. Er muss keinerlei Leidenschaft oder Begierde zwangsweise unterworfen sein.<\/p>\n Paulus erinnert die Korinther daran, dass ein Wettk\u00e4mpfer auf jedem Gebiet\u00a0Selbstbeherrschung praktiziert (1. Korinther 9,25). Er selbst war entschlossen,\u00a0sich\u00a0von nichts \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigen und versklaven zu lassen (1. Korinther\u00a06,12), und deswegen\u00a0unterzog er seinen K\u00f6rper einer harten Disziplin, damit er nicht, nachdem er anderen\u00a0gepredigt hatte, selbst disqualifiziert w\u00fcrde (1. Korinther 9,27).<\/p>\n Ein disziplinierter Christ vermeidet unm\u00e4\u00dfiges Essen. Wenn Kaffee, Tee oder regelm\u00e4\u00dfiges\u00a0Colatrinken ihn zu beherrschen drohen, dann gibt er diese Gewohnheit\u00a0auf. Er l\u00e4sst sich nicht von Tabakgenuss, gleich welcher Form, abh\u00e4ngig machen. Er\u00a0vermeidet sorgf\u00e4ltig den Gebrauch von Beruhigungspillen,\u00a0Schlafmitteln und anderen\u00a0Drogen, wenn sie nicht ausdr\u00fccklich vom Arzt verschrieben sind. Er achtet\u00a0darauf, dass er sich nicht zu viel Schlaf g\u00f6nnt. Wenn er mit geschlechtlicher Begierde\u00a0zu k\u00e4mpfen hat, lernt er, unreine\u00a0Gedanken zu verdr\u00e4ngen, sich auf eine saubere Gedankenwelt\u00a0zu konzentrieren\u00a0und sich mit konstruktiven T\u00e4tigkeiten zu besch\u00e4ftigen.\u00a0F\u00fcr ihn ist jede Abh\u00e4ngigkeit und s\u00fcndige Gewohnheit ein Goliath, der besiegt\u00a0werden muss.<\/p>\n Oft h\u00f6ren wir, wie Christen sich beklagen, dass sie mit einer bestimmten Gewohnheit\u00a0nicht fertig werden k\u00f6nnen. Eine derartige pessimistische Haltung\u00a0ist eine sichere\u00a0Garantie f\u00fcr konstante Niederlagen. Damit sagt man n\u00e4mlich, dass der Heilige\u00a0Geist nicht in der Lage ist, uns den notwendigen Sieg zu geben. Es ist eine Tatsache,\u00a0dass unbekehrte Leute, die den Geist nicht haben, oft mit Rauchen, Trinken, Spielen\u00a0und Fluchen aufh\u00f6ren k\u00f6nnen.\u00a0Umso leichter sollten Christen durch den Heiligen\u00a0Geist, der in ihnen wohnt, dazu in der Lage sein!<\/p>\n Selbstbeherrschung ist wie die anderen acht Fr\u00fcchte des Heiligen Geistes\u00a0etwas\u00a0\u00dcbernat\u00fcrliches. Sie bef\u00e4higt den Gl\u00e4ubigen, sein Leben in einer\u00a0Weise in den Griff\u00a0zu bekommen, von der andere nur tr\u00e4umen k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" March 10 \u201cThe fruit of the Spirit is\u2026temperance\u2026\u201d (Gal. 5:23) The preferred rendering of this last fruit of the Spirit is self-control.
