What does the Bible say about circumcision and the law?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the ceremonial law, including circumcision, is no longer necessary for salvation.

In Acts 15, the apostles addressed the crucial issue of whether Gentile believers should be required to follow the Jewish ceremonial laws, including circumcision. Peter emphasized that God had chosen him to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles and confirmed this by granting them the Holy Spirit just as He did to the Jewish believers. This pivotal moment in the Church showed that salvation comes through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, not adherence to the works of the law. The yoke of the ceremonial law is burdensome, and it is through faith in Christ that we are saved, highlighting the importance of grace over legalism.
