Romans
2:29 KJV
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that
of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men,
but of God.
The work that God seeks in us
is an internal one and thus not one we may do of our own accord.
God seeks the
circumcision of the heart.
It is a cutting away of the affections that are
worldly and opposed to the Lord. Friendship with is world is
enmity with God.
And this heart is in the
spirit.
The lost man has a dead spirit so this is a reference to the new heart
that belongs to the Christian.
- Step one is new birth
- Step two is the circumcision of the
heart
- Step two is sanctification which is
happening the rest of our lives
