Just A Little Leaven
     
"And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten." Exodus 13:3 (NKJ)
 
Leaven, or yeast, in the Bible is often used as a picture of sin. When God delivered the Israelites from their Egyptian oppressors they took with them dough that had no yeast added to it. God had delivered them so fast they did not have a chance to add the yeast to the dough. As a remembrance of God's deliverance of Israel from their bondage in Egypt every year they would celebrate the Feast of Unleavened bread. God took them out of Egypt, and He wanted no part of Egypt in them!
 
In the New Testament the Apostle Paul tells us "Don't you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough?" Paul's message was that even a little sin, or wrong teaching, will spread throughout the entire person. Sin corrupts! It's poisonous to all, and that includes the born again believer! Sin drives us away from our Lord and Savior! It crates fear and condemnation, both of which we are to live free from in Jesus Christ! We must guard our hearts and refuse to allow even a little sin to be tolerated in our lives! If we see that sin is active in our life we should quickly repent; that is, we should turn from it and change the way we think about it! It is true, we all commit acts of sin in times of weakness and ignorance, and we all make mistakes, but those mistakes and sins must never be justified or tolerated! And, they must be dealt with quickly, before they have an opportunity to turn our hearts away from Jesus!

"Those who have been born into God's family do not make a practice of sinning, because God's life is in them. So they can't keep on sinning, because they are children of God." 1 John 3:9 (NLT)
