The spiritual meaning of Galatians 5:9, "A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough"

Many gospel teachings allude to the concepts of progressiveness and retribution. That is why the apostle Paul reminds us, when speaking of the difference between the freedom of the spirit and the slavery of the law: "A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough", Galatians 5:9. The Spiritual gifts are progressive, we live the spiritual gifts because we grow, the spiritual gifts are progressive mentality: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect". Romans 12:2.
Jesus points out the importance of progressive thinking (spiritual gift of knowledge) when he speaks of the parable of the yeast and the mustard seed, all beings tend to their own good or perfection; the fruit is good when it is ripe, the house is good when it is finished:
"He told them another parable: ´The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.´
He told them still another parable: ´The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.´", Matthew 13:31-33

The concept of progressivity is absent in the Law of Moses; to such a point this problem reaches, that when Jesus meets Nicodemus, Jesus explains the new spiritual childhood with the birth of the spirit, and Nicodemus, who is a doctor of the law, does not understand. Nicodemus is a natural man, Jesus a spiritual man.
In addition, the Kingdom of God, the domain of divine perfections, has a retribution, the fruits of the spirit, on the other hand, the law of Moses does not have a retribution but simply tells us where the sin is.
