How do we know that circumcision was a sign of the covenant?

Answered in 1 source

Circumcision served as a physical sign of God's covenant promise of salvation through Christ.

In the sermon, circumcision is presented as a token of God's covenant with Abraham, symbolizing the assurance of redemption. It points to the greater reality of the shed blood of Christ, which cleanses from sin. This act of circumcision was not just a physical rite but a divine seal of God's promise of grace, illustrated in the lives of those who are part of His covenant community. Thus, it signifies a deeper spiritual reality inherent in God's loving, redemptive plan.
