What does the Bible say about spiritual circumcision?

Answered in 8 sources

Spiritual circumcision, or the circumcision of the heart, refers to the new birth or regeneration, where the Holy Spirit imparts spiritual life to believers.

In Philippians 3:3, Paul speaks of being the circumcision, referring not to a physical act but to a spiritual transformation that occurs when someone is born again by the Holy Spirit. This regeneration is essential for salvation, as it reveals one's sinful condition and drives the believer to Christ for all salvation. Those who have been spiritually circumcised worship God in spirit and truth, having a heart transformed to seek Him sincerely and authentically, rather than through mere outward rituals.
