In the heart of every Believer there is a struggle between the power of God’s Indwelling Spirit, who means to lead us to genuine truth and the pull of the “way that seems right” to us. One leads to life, while the other leads to death. Sanctification is not the by-product of winning this battle, but of being committed to remain engaged in it. The Holy Spirit will not “control” us, thus minute by minute we must choose to yield to His authority. This is why “self-control” is a fruit of the Holy Spirit.
