It needs to count enough to do what God commands for the reason he commanded it. Our circumcision today is a spiritual one, “in the heart” (Rom. 2:28, 29). The circumcision of Abraham and David was made with hands upon the flesh. The “circumcision of Christ” is “made without hands.” Old Testament circumcision cut off excess flesh. The New Testament “circumcision of Christ” cuts away and puts “off the body of the sins of the flesh.” This spiritual surgery is performed by the Lord when one is “buried with him in baptism” It is a work of God.Until one has this surgery, has the body of  sins of the flesh been cut away?</blockquote>
