At All Times

The last fruit of the Spirit is "self-control." Why? The Spirit wants us to know that regardless of the circumstances, regardless of what other people are doing, the believer still--always--must be loving, joyous, gentle, kind, patient, faithful, good, practicing self-control--under the control and empowered by the Spirit. Nothing, or no one, releases us from demonstrating the fruit of the Spirit at all times.
