What does the Bible say about the covenant of circumcision?

Answered in 1 source

The covenant of circumcision signifies God's promise to Abraham and represents the inward work of faith and grace through Christ.

The covenant of circumcision, as revealed in Genesis 17, is a pivotal aspect of God's covenantal relationship with Abraham. It is not merely an external act but an outward sign of an inward spiritual reality. This covenant was established not only for Abraham but for all who would be blessed through his lineage, ultimately pointing to Christ, who fulfills this promise. In Colossians 2, it is emphasized that true circumcision takes place in the heart, not in the flesh, as Christ was cut off for us, dealing with our sins and offering us justification and a new heart.
