Benefits Of Self-Discipline
Self-Discipline or Self-Control is a rare commodity. The world influences us to do our own thing apart from God. Scripture talks of a future time referred to as the last days when individuals will lack self-control. It is imperative for those called of God to hone and develop self-control. For those called by God and given His Holy Spirit, the fruit of Self-Control is one of the benefits we are given. There are blessing/benefits to exercising self-discipline in one\’s life. The benefits are both physical and spiritual. Parents have a responsibility to teach and instill self-control in their children for the happiness of the child. But this responsibility means the parents also are exercising self-control within their own lives. Self-Discipline will strengthen relationships within the family as well as with other outside acquaintances. Also, as we bring our bodies (hearts and minds) into subjection to Godly standards and morals, there is a future benefit and that is the opportunity to be born into God\’s spiritual family as sons and daughters.
