Beware of the leaven of false doctrine

Posted

“A little yeast leavens the whole batch.” Galatians 5:9

With these words, the apostle warns of the effects of doctrinal error. Like a little bit of yeast leavens the entire batch of dough, doctrinal errors — even seemingly small and insignificant errors — affect the entire body of doctrine. Errors in one article of faith affect all articles of faith, and all false and erring teachings are of the devil and used to weaken and destroy faith in Christ.

O God, preserve me from the leaven of false doctrine that I may be preserved in the true and saving faith unto life everlasting. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
