A Christian is a perfectly self-controlled


We have all heard the expression he has a lot of self-control. It usually boils down to an insult or physical assault that the
person has resisted response to. What about the phrase having a good bead and things or getting your ducks in a row these are all phrases that meant something to people to demonstrate I'm not look on life or how to live. 

What is self-control? 
You might say self-control is the ability to resist or to think about a problem to have the right answer the first time. That sounds right but it is also training yourself to come to the conclusion that one thing is right and everything else is wrong to set that in your mind and to keep that for us like a sounding board. 

What is the Christian sounding board or what is the Christians control? 
The word of God. Self-control is not adjusting your temper or outbursts of emotion those would be controlling yourself adjusting your physical demeanor to suit more culturally approved practices. Self-control is what you really think who you really are between you and the fence post you can control what comes out of your mouth or what you hear or see you may choose to respond or not respond but that is controlling yourself what you were thinking at the time is self-control. Setting your minds. Realizing one thing is right and everything else is wrong to test everything against that one thing and that is the word of God. True self-control comes when wrong happens your response is in accordance to God's word and Christ's heart. That is how you become perfectly self-controlled. 1Peter 1:13-14
