APRIL 27 - START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVEOTION Romans 2:28-29 A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise is not from men, but from God. CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART, BY THE SPIRITCircumcision involves cutting the foreskin from the penis. God established this physical act as a confirmation of His promise to make Abraham’s descendants into a great nation and later as a sign of Israel’s acceptance of His covenant with them (Genesis 17:1-14; Leviticus 12:3). The Jews had come to accept this act as a guarantee of God’s favor. While having God’s law should have been a benefit, it only served to condemn them when they resisted the spirit and original meaning behind it. The true sign of belonging to God was not a mark on the physical body, but rather the inner work of the Holy Spirit that is able to transform a believer’s heart. The changed heart allowed him or her to have a personal relationship with God and to participate in His purposes. This inner work of God’s Spirit also enables the follower of Christ to live a spiritually pure life, separated from sin and fully devoted to God (Deuteronomy 10:16; Jeremiah 4:4; 2Peter 1:4), which is what it means to be holy. That is the true outward sign that a person is living under the new covenant – God’s “life agreement” with those who put their faith in Him, based on the life and sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ.
