The circumcision

The circumcision is a pact between God and the Jews. The circumcision occurs to every male after eight days. God wanted this done in Israel.
The circumcision has great significance. This activity means a person will not live for the sinful desire.
The person will desire to follow the Lord. It is an outward thing for the desire of the person heart.
If a person does an activity for God but don't have a new heart. Then that person can't please the Lord.
The person needs a pure heart. The human heart is sinful.
Jesus came to this world and died on the cross. When a person repent from their sins then the Holy Spirit seals the believer. The believer's heart will receive a new heart. The new heart will hate sin and love the law of the Lord.

 

Genesis 17:9-14

 

⁹ Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come. ¹⁰ This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. ¹¹ You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you. ¹² For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring. ¹³ Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant. ¹⁴ Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.”
