Spiritual Circumcision

In Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ.

COLOSSIANS 2:11

God’s covenant sign with His people under the Old Covenant of Law was circumcision. Why would He choose such a thing? It is because of what it depicts. He wanted the circumcision of Israel’s men to be an object lesson pointing toward what would happen to His children under the new covenant of grace. Physical circumcision is the cutting away of a piece of skin on a man’s body at the place from which life originates, and by which his gender (part of his identity) is identified. When the skin is cut away, it never grows back.

The apostle Paul points out that in this day of grace we have been circumcised “with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ.” At the cross, God reached down and cut away from you the source of your old life. That source was the sin nature inherited from Adam. Through Jesus, God has removed it from you through your circumcision in Christ, and it will never grow back.
