Why does Paul stress that both circumcision and uncircumcision are of no value?

Answered in 1 source

Paul emphasizes that neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for salvation; what matters is being a new creation in Christ.

In Galatians 6:15, Paul indicates that mere religious rites, such as circumcision or uncircumcision, do not hold any value in the realm of salvation. Rather, the significant transformation comes from being a new creation in Christ. This new identity results from God's sovereign work in the believer, highlighting that salvation is not based on human effort or observance of the law but on faith in Christ's completed work. This underlines the grace of God in salvation and the importance of understanding one's identity in Christ over legalistic practices.
