Necessity of self control(continued)

Necessity of self control(continued)

1 Pet 4:7

⁷ The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and of self-controlled so that you can pray.

1 Pet 5:8

⁸ Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. ⁹ Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

2 Pet 1:6

³ His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

⁵ For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; ⁶ and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; ⁷ and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. ⁸ For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1)  The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and of self-controlled so that we can pray.

2)  We should have self-control for the enemy roars like a lion for someone to devour

3)  Making every effort to add self-control to our faith, keeps us from being ineffective and unproductive in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ
