What does the Bible say about spiritual circumcision?
Answered in 6 sources
The Bible teaches that true circumcision is a matter of the heart, where one is transformed by the Holy Spirit, not just an outward ritual.
In Philippians 3:3, Paul explains that true circumcision is not about physical rites but about being spiritually transformed. He emphasizes that true believers are those whose hearts have been pricked and opened by the Holy Spirit, realizing their sinful state before God. This internal transformation connects believers to God's promises, highlighting the need for spiritual rather than merely ritualistic faith.
