Purge out the old leaven

1 Cor 5:6Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

We are unleavened. We have been purified. We have been cleansed, and there is no sin in us. But still, we are exposed to sin all the time, and it will always try to attach itself to us. Heb 12 tells us to lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily beset us. So easily the sin tries to come back in and destroy the lump. Why am I suddenly so agitated? Where is this bitterness and jealousy coming from? Why am I feeling this lust? It’s the sin that so easily beset us. Walking through this filthy world, being exposed to all its sin and immorality, we are sometimes affected by it. What must we do? Purge out. Repent. Pray, and get close to God. Take up our cross and die dayli. That’s the only way to keep it away from us.
