START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Colossians 2:11-12
In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
CIRCUMCISION DONE BY CHRIST / COLOSSIANS 2:11-12
Physical circumcision involves cutting away the foreskin from the penis. In the Old Testament, this act served as the sign that an individual Israelite was in a covenant relationship with God, based on God’s laws and promises to His people and on the people’s faithfulness and obedience to God (Genesis 17:11). It symbolized a cutting away, or separation, from wickedness, ungodliness and all that was unholy in the world. The believer under the new covenant (God’s plan of salvation and a renewed relationship with people through the life and sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ) has experienced a spiritual circumcision, symbolizing their “putting off of the sinful nature.” Such circumcision is a spiritual act by which Christ cuts away our old nature of rebellion against God and gives us a renewed spiritual life characterized by the same life-transforming power that raised Jeus from the dead (Colossians 2:12-13). This is a circumcision of the heart (Deuteronomy 10:16; 30:6; Jeremiah 4:4; 9:26; Romans 2:29).
