What does the Bible say about circumcision in relation to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that circumcision is not necessary for salvation, as seen in Acts 15:1-20.

In Acts 15, the apostles and elders discuss a contentious issue raised by certain men from Judea, claiming that Gentile converts must be circumcised and keep the law of Moses to be saved. Peter responds by emphasizing that salvation comes through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, not through adherence to the law. He states that God made no distinction between Jews and Gentiles, purifying their hearts by faith (Acts 15:9). This illustrates that the requirement of circumcision was a burdensome yoke that neither their ancestors nor they themselves were able to bear. Instead, they believed that salvation is solely through Christ's grace.
