Here are a few areas the Bible discusses Self Discipline...
1. Proverbs 12:1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is
stupid. (reproof - to scold or correct, usually gently or with kind intent to express disapproval of)
Correction in the church
4. 2 Chronicles 15:7 But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall
be rewarded.” (This is the discipline to work hard at whatever you do and God will reward it
unless you know God don’t want you doing it $$, OR salvations)
5. Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training
us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly
lives in the present age........................
6. Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent
is richly supplied. (diligent is discipline here)
8. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one
receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all
things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run
aimlessly I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control,
lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. (Our heavenly rewards will never
die, ever fade, never get old, never get dusty)
9. Proverbs 25:28 A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.
10. Hebrews 12:11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it
yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. (If we discipline
ourselves God won’t have to!!)
See you can be trained by discipline or we can be trained by sin.
If we let our minds
compute things like consequences of any action we take, then discipline ourselves to make the
right decision. This is the consequence: “peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have
been trained by it”
Self Discipline can become a character trait if you practice it. Remember this that I mentioned
before: The Holy Spirit will display and produce self discipline. So the more you feed and act
on and obey the Holy Spirit in you (your spirit man), the easier and stronger it becomes, but the
more you act on and obey and feed your flesh, the the stronger you flesh man will get and the weaker you spirit man will become.
