Doing It Like Jesus
ByLinda Callahan
Temperance Is Loving OthersBy Troy Pomeroy
When God made the earth, it was perfect.
When He created His crowning glory, man,
He declared what He had done was “very
good.
” He had prepared a paradise for man
to inhabit and rule, and made life for man
full of pleasures and good things.
Then man fell, and sin entered the world.
Sincethattime,Satanhasbeenbusytempting
us with sin.
He takes the good things of God
and perverts them into something harmful to
us.
This is displeasing to God.
“What does this have to do with
temperance?”
Temperance is restraint.
It is a high virtue
of Christianity.
It has to do with limiting the
amount of pleasure or instant gratification
we receive for a higher purpose.
What is that higher purpose? Love.
The
reason we live is to love God and love people.
By using restraint in our lives, we can resist
temptation
