Give sin an inch, and well, you know how it goes….
“Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?”
1 Corinthians 5:6 ESV
Specifically, Paul is talking about the sin of pride. You might start out just a little prideful, but left unchecked, the sin of pride can take over your life. If you give any sin and inch it will eventually take a mile. It won’t just be something you do, it will become who you are. The truth is, God loves you way too much for sin to have control of you. So what can you do about sin? 👇
“Cleanse out the old leaven (sin)that you may be a new lump (forgiven), as you really are unleavened (saved). For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.”
1 Corinthians 5:7 ESV
This is where you start praising God! 🙌
