What does the Bible say about the circumcision of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The circumcision of Christ refers to a spiritual circumcision made without hands, signifying the regeneration and renewal of believers.

In Colossians 2:11, Paul writes that believers are 'circumcised with the circumcision made without hands.' This spiritual circumcision denotes the withdrawal of the body of sin through the work of Christ, who transforms the hearts of His people. This is contrasted against the Old Testament practice of physical circumcision, which served as a sign for Israel under the old covenant. The circumcision of Christ implies a complete inward transformation and regeneration by the Holy Spirit, marking believers as part of God's new covenant and His chosen people.
