Then said Jesus unto His disciples,
If any man will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross and follow me.
Matthew 16:24
Temperance
is,
Moderation, or Restraint, or Self-Control
of the Appetite, Emotions, and other Gratifications
Temperance is both a Virtue and a Fruit of the Spirit.
This Fruit is born in the Believer as he walks 'in the Spirit',
away from fleshly sins and overindulgence,
and ever more closely with Christ, being filled with His life,
His great vigor, might, power, strength, and dominion over sin and darkness.
For if ye live after the flesh ye shall die:
but if ye through the Spirit do mortify
the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Romans 8:13
