From N.T Wright’s Paul: A Biography:

Paul’s ‘missionary’ journeys were not simply aimed at telling people about Jesus in order to generate inner personal transformation and a new sense of ultimate hope, though both of these mattered vitally as well.

From Timothy Keller’s Making Sense of God:

An experience of Christ’s grace strikes a fatal blow to our egocentricity. The sight of Jesus dying for us out of love destroys both pride and self-hatred at the same time.

The “Yes” Behind Self-Control

Self-control isn’t just saying “no” to evil desires, it’s saying “yes” to God’s transformation and sanctification of our hearts.

…self-control isn’t simply a dam holding back a surge of destructive desires. It’s part of the process of sanctification that ultimately heals our sinful hearts. When it’s not present, the fallout can be swift and severe.

Self-control is crucial for leaders because it guards against moral lapses that threaten to destroy their lives and ministries. But there are other reasons why cultivating self-control is important for leaders.
