Self-control is someone’s ability to restrain his feelings and behave well in the face of trials and impulses. Children of God are asked to exhibit this trait so that God can be glorified in our lives.
The Bible reference
“A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.”
(Proverbs 25:28 ESV)
