1 Corinthians 5

It's funny how God uses yeast in this passage to make his point; I love baking, but I am horrible when it comes to working with yeast. God tells that a little yeast works through a whole patch of dough. Yet, it only takes a little sin to work through an entire soul. We need to purge; meaning get rid of it all.
No matter how small one's sin is, it'll affect their entire being. The sins I have been dealing with a lot lately, is jealously and envy. But as Christ says,
"Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast-as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed." [1 Corinthians 5:7]
Although Christ's second coming has not come yet, we need to proclaim his name until he comes. It's time to get rid of that "yeast" and live for Christ, not to be overcome with sin.

Sin's contamination requires a Saviour's cleansing.
