Just like we can’t gain control without His power, He can’t control us without our obedience. It has to be both/and – not either/or.

Just like Janie said, SELF. It feels to me like the harder I try the more I fail. I suppose the the key here is “I”.

However, there is a willful response to God on our part if we are going to live properly. Galatians 5:23 states that self-control is a sign that the Spirit is working in us.

It seems that a synergy – a working together – is necessary for us to win.

Thanks for your good point.

If we could control ourselves, we would not need God, would we? I lean toward God-control. No easier, but seems like it offers more hope!
