1 Corinthians 7:18 (KJV) The Point Was, That Was Not the Point

1 Corinthians 7:18 (KJV)

Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

It is physically impossible for the circumcised to become uncircumcised. Therefore, the passage must speak of something different, of something in the heart and attitude.

The Jews were specifically commanded (and even in this book of the Bible) to come out of Judaism to a new practice in the church of the living God.

The point was to understand being born Jew or Gentile was not the point. God’s interest is in His Son, Jesus Christ. God’s desire was that.

  • Jew or Gentile
  • Servant or free
  • Male or female
  • Married or single

would stop focusing on those things and focus instead on knowing Christ, living to please Christ, and seeking to save some to Christ.
