TOPIC: Self-Control Is Love’s Crowning Achievement
For this reason make every effort to add virtue to your faith; and to your virtue, knowledge; and to your knowledge, self-control; and to your self-control, patient endurance; and to your patient endurance, godliness; and to your godliness, brotherly kindness; and to your brotherly kindness, love. For if these things reside in you and abound, they ensure that you will neither be useless nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. – 2 Peter 1:5-8

There is no other sporting event like the Olympics. It thrills our senses as we watch the top athletes in the world going head to head in competition.
That is what self-control is all about. That is what the apostle Paul was describing when he said, “Do you not know that all those who run in a race run, but one receives the prize? … Everyone who strives for the prize exercises self-control in all things … I bring and keep my body under subjection…” (1 Corinthians 9:24-25, 27)
Self-control is love’s crowning achievement that rises from within and calls us to live a holy life with God’s power in control.
Holy Spirit, crown me with self-control that I might run this race today in victory!
