Meekness and Self-Control

924.114 - 970.722 R.C. Sproul

The fruit of the Spirit does not produce an abrasive personality. An abrasive personality is one that is pugnacious, it is combative, it is contentious, it is argumentative. The gentle person, the meek person, is not rough-hewn. That's what we mean by abrasive. Abrasive like sandpaper, always rubbing people the wrong way by sharp edges rather than smooth and flowing dimensions to the personality.
