What does the Bible say about true circumcision?

Answered in 9 sources

The Bible describes true circumcision as a spiritual transformation where believers worship God in spirit and have no confidence in the flesh (Philippians 3:3).

In Philippians 3:3, Paul explains that true circumcision is not simply a physical act but a spiritual reality where believers, the circumcision of God, worship in the Spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus. This addresses the covenantal significance of circumcision as a token between God and His people, signifying an inward change of heart brought about by divine grace. Paul emphasizes that this 'we' refers not solely to Jews but to all who are in Christ, pointing to the unity and spiritual identity of the believers.
