What does the Bible say about the necessity of circumcision for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that circumcision is not necessary for salvation, as salvation comes through faith in Christ alone.

In Acts 15, the apostles address the issue of whether Gentile converts should be required to be circumcised and to obey the Law of Moses. Peter argues that God purifies the hearts of believers through faith and that placing a yoke of the law on the Gentiles is unnecessary and contrary to the grace of God. The essence of the gospel is that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, with no requirement for additional works or observances, including circumcision (Acts 15:7-11).
