so that you may love him
with all your mind and being and so that you may live.
Leviticus 26:41
26:41 (and I myself will walk in hostility against them and bring them into the land of their enemies), and
then their uncircumcised hearts become humbled and they make up for
their iniquity,
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.”
Jeremiah 4:14
4:14 “Oh people of Jerusalem, purify your hearts from evil
so that you may yet be delivered.
How long will you continue to harbor up
wicked schemes within you?
Romans 2:28-29
2:28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision something that is outward in the flesh,
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.
Colossians 2:11
2:11 In him you also were circumcised – not, however,
with a circumcision performed by human hands, but by the removal
of the fleshly body,
that is,
through the circumcision done by Christ.
