Self-control is a Christian virtue that stands in stark contrast to our times.<\/p>\n
L’amour est patient, il est plein de bont\u00e9 ; l’amour n’est pas envieux ; l’amour ne se vante pas, il ne s’enfle pas d’orgueil, il ne fait rien de malhonn\u00eate, il ne cherche pas son int\u00e9r\u00eat, il ne s’irrite pas, il ne soup\u00e7onne pas le mal. 1 Corinthiens 13 : 4-5<\/strong><\/p>\n Ces versets de 1 corinthiens 13 :4-5 nous pr\u00e9sentent les caract\u00e9ristiques de l’amour. Et retenons que l’amour dont on parle ici, est une personne : J\u00e9sus Christ. Voici ses caract\u00e9ristiques :<\/p>\n L’\u00e9go\u00efsme r\u00e9sulte de notre rejet du Dieu qui est Lui-m\u00eame amour (1 Jean 4 :8), en d’autres termes l’amour authentique n’est pas \u00e9go\u00efste. Paul nous en dit autant dans 1 Corinthiens 13 :5 quand il dit que l’amour \u00ab n’insiste pas sur sa propre voie \u00bb. Quand nous aimons les autres correctement, nous ne mettons pas nos besoins au-dessus des leurs. Au contraire, nous sommes g\u00e9n\u00e9reux, cherchant le bien des autres avant nous-m\u00eames. Le Christ lui-m\u00eame en est le mod\u00e8le, car il a quitt\u00e9 la gloire pour accomplir le plus grand bien de son peuple (Philippiens 2 : 5-11).<\/p>\n Si l’amour n’est pas \u00e9go\u00efste, il est aussi patient (1 Corinthiens. 13 :4), car il faut de la patience pour ne pas se mettre en priorit\u00e9, pour r\u00e9pondre aux besoins des autres avant de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 nos propres besoins. L’amour qui n’est pas motiv\u00e9 par l’\u00e9go\u00efsme refuse \u00e9galement de montrer l’orgueil (v. 5). Cela fait de nous des gens courtois, car ceux qui sont attentionn\u00e9s et qui montrent de bonnes mani\u00e8res n’essaient pas de se mettre en premier. Le respect et la courtoisie g\u00e9n\u00e9rale sont parmi les signes r\u00e9v\u00e9lateurs de la pr\u00e9sence de l’amour d\u00e9crit par Paul dans 1 Corinthiens 13. Nous ne pouvons respecter les autres que si nous sommes patients avec eux et si nous accordons la priorit\u00e9 \u00e0 leurs besoins, si nous poss\u00e9dons les autres qualit\u00e9s cl\u00e9s de l’amour authentique, qui honore Dieu.<\/p>\n Mais comment \u00e9chapper \u00e0 l’irritabilit\u00e9 et au ressentiment ?<\/strong><\/p>\nPour \u00e9chapper \u00e0 l’irritabilit\u00e9 et au ressentiment, nous devons cultiver le fruit de la ma\u00eetrise de soi (Galates 5 : 22-23). So let's seek the fruit of self-control in our lives by turning to the Word of God, the living Word who is Jesus Christ, giving Him first place, asking the Holy Spirit to fill you and guide you in all your life.<\/p>\n Bless you<\/p>\n Pasteur Cl\u00e9mentine<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Living Word <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3508,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-enseignements-biblique"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3514"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3514\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3516,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3514\/revisions\/3516"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paroledevie.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}1- L’amour n’est pas \u00e9go\u00efste<\/h4>\n
2- L’amour est patient<\/h4>\n
3- L’amour et contr\u00f4le de soi<\/h4>\nDans le m\u00eame ordre d’id\u00e9es, parce que l’amour est patient, courtois et non \u00e9go\u00efste, il \u00ab n’est ni irritable ni rancunier \u00bb (v. 5).
\nWe only become irritable when we are impatient with others or with our situation.
\nWe don't show proper respect when we hate others and their achievements.
\nL’amour vrai cherche \u00e0 \u00e9viter l’irritabilit\u00e9 et le ressentiment. Il n’\u00e9vite pas toute col\u00e8re, car il est possible d’\u00eatre en col\u00e8re et non le p\u00e9ch\u00e9 (\u00c9ph\u00e9siens 4 :26). Plut\u00f4t, l’amour qui n’est pas irritable ou rancunier signifie que nous pouvons nous mettre en col\u00e8re \u00e0 des moments appropri\u00e9s, mais avec patience.\n
\nBy practicing self-mastery, we exercise control over our emotions and put things into perspective.
\nSelf-control means we don't get angry at the slightest offense.
\nSelf-control is a Christian virtue that stands in stark contrast to our times. Culture and even many churches tell us to rejoice as long as we don't hurt others.
\nMais une vie d’\u00e9go\u00efsme est contraire \u00e0 l’amour patient, plein de bont\u00e9 ; et \u00e0 l’amour qui ne s’enfle pas d’orgueil d\u00e9crit dans 1 Corinthiens 13.\n
