How do we know spiritual circumcision is true?

Answered in 1 source

Spiritual circumcision is evidenced by a believer's worship of God in spirit, joy in Christ, and a lack of confidence in the flesh (Philippians 3:3).

To discern whether one possesses spiritual circumcision, Paul provides three indicators in Philippians 3:3: genuine worship of God in the Spirit, rejoicing in Jesus Christ, and a complete distrust of oneself and one's capabilities. Spiritual circumcision occurs when the Holy Spirit regenerates an individual, giving them a new heart that recognizes the inadequacy of their fleshly nature. Paul's assertions remind believers that their confidence lies not in their heritage or actions, but in the work of Christ—who fulfills all righteousness on their behalf.
