And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. (Deuteronomy 30:6)
In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: (Colossians 2:11)
Charles Spurgeon

If we walk in the things of the Spirit, we will live

True circumcision is performed by Jehovah God on our hearts, not on our flesh. It is the essential sign of the covenant of grace and results in a love for God that brings life. We must trust in the Holy Spirit's work of grace in our hearts, rather than external rituals, to truly live for God. This is the message from The Bank of Faith Checkbook by Charles Spurgeon.

Comments:

Efigenia Vidal : Amen. The essence of love for His creation in His image and likeness demonstrates true redemption in Jesus Christ, circumcising the heart for a new spiritual birth. This allows for a more expectant connection with His Creator through the Holy Spirit, who convicts and directs the believer in what they should do, and who serves Him with reverence and fear. This is the foundation of what Charles Spurgeon's devotional shows us today. May God bless and protect you always.
What a beautiful comment, Efigenia Vidal. It is true that the love for God wrought in our hearts by the Holy Spirit is a sign of our redemption in Christ and a sign that we belong to the covenant of grace. By being circumcised in the heart, we are enabled to love God with all our being and live in obedience to His will. As you mention, the Holy Spirit guides and strengthens us to live a life that honors our Creator. May God continue to bless and protect you in your walk with Him! It is inspiring to see how the truths revealed in Scripture and expounded by Charles Spurgeon remind us of the importance of living in communion with God, allowing Him to work in the depths of our being to transform us into His image. As it says in Deuteronomy 30:6, "The LORD your God will circumcise your heart... so that you may live," and in Colossians 2:11, "In Him you were also circumcised... through the circumcision of Christ." How wonderful is the work God does in us to give us life abundantly! God bless you!
