your heart and the hearts of your descendants
so that you may love him
with all your mind and being and so that you may live.
Jeremiah 4:4
4:4 Just as ritual circumcision cuts away the foreskin
as an external symbol of dedicated covenant commitment,
you must genuinely dedicate yourselves to the Lord
and get rid of everything that hinders your commitment to me,
people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem.
If you do not, my anger will blaze up like a flaming fire against you
that no one will be able to extinguish.
That will happen because of the evil you have done.”
Romans 2:29
2:29 but someone is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart
by the Spirit
and not by the written code.
This person’s
praise is not from people but from God.
Philippians 3:3
3:3 For we are the circumcision,
the ones who worship by the Spirit of God,
exult in Christ Jesus, and do not rely on human credentials
