How do we know that we are the true circumcision?

Answered in 1 source

We are the true circumcision through the spiritual transformation God effects in the heart, as explained in Philippians 3:3.

Paul describes believers as the 'true circumcision' in Philippians 3:3, indicating that true membership in God's covenant people is not through physical markers but through a spiritual transformation. This transformation is what Paul refers to as being circumcised in the heart, a theme echoed in Romans 2:28-29 where he clarifies that true Jews are not those outwardly but rather those whose hearts have been changed by God. This internal change signifies a new creation marked by faith in Christ and a life devoted to His glory. Thus, our identity as the true circumcision rests in our relationship to Christ, who has achieved redemption for us.
