Intro story
You could say, his heart had not been circumcised for the Lord
Now you might be thinking, that’s a weird way to phrase it
Generally speaking it would be, but since we go through the bible verse by verse this is where we are landing in the scriptures today
Romans 2:25-29
25 For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26 Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision? 27 And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your [a]written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law? 28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; 29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose [b]praise is not from men but from God.
When I started in ministry about 15 years ago I never once thought that one day I would have to prepare a message about circumcision
But here we are.
In the last month I have learned more about it than I ever thought I would, now you get to hear it too
Circumcision is mentioned about 100 times between the old testament and the new
This discussion about circumcision happens a few times in the new testament
Often when we hear circumcision we just think of a medical practice
But to God and the jewish people it was so much more than that
Circumcision was a direct covenant between God and His people
People probably don’t think of this or even realize, well I didn’t anyway, that this covenant was the beginning of Gods chosen people
This covenant to Abraham created a whole lineage that was set apart by God and for Him
As long as they upheld the covenant God gave to Abraham they would be set apart
Lets look in genesis to see the start of the covenant
