“A little leaven leavens the whole lump.” ~ Galatians 5:9
We often believe that we will be justified if our good outweighs our bad. But is the truth? Can our good deeds outweigh our bad ones? I believe this is what Paul is addressing in this verse. In other words, even a little sin makes the whole person sinful.
This is why Jesus’ blood cleanses us of our sins, and the Holy Spirit transforms us into a new creation. We can’t live our lives however we want and then try to justify our sin by the good that we do, but none of the good we do matters if we don’t have Christ in our lives. Without Christ Jesus, no amount of good deeds can save us.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Dump The Leaven.
