Discipline or self-discipline is the willingness to control or correct ourselves in order to be better.
"I keep my body under control and make it my slave, so I won't lose out after telling the good news to others."
1 Corinthians 9:27

OBEDIENCE

To obey means to do what we are instructed to do.
In drill you are trained to obey without questioning
thus you learn what it means to be submitted to authority. Like it or not, you have to do it.

Obedience :
To God - John 14:15 If you love me you will obey what I command.
To men - Heb 13:17 obey your leaders & summit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.
To Ourself - Phil 2:13 because God is always at work in you to help you make you willing and able to obey to His own purpose.

In this passage we have the assurance that we are not alone as we work on our obedience, God has put His Spirit in us to help us obey. Remember Jesus, who demonstrate perfect obedience to the Father’s will when He died on the cross for our sins.
