How do we know that circumcision is a sign of the heart’s transformation?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament clarifies that true circumcision occurs in the heart, evidenced by a transformation and faith in Christ.

Romans 2:28-29 indicates that true circumcision is not merely a physical act but a matter of the heart, performed by the Spirit. This heart circumcision symbolizes the new birth and spiritual renewal, which is crucial for understanding one’s relationship with God. It is not about external law but an internal change that manifests in faith and love toward God, as seen in Deuteronomy 30:6, where God promises to circumcise the hearts of His people. This transformation signifies that believers are marked by grace, receiving the righteousness of Christ and being set apart as God's own.
