Remember your spiritual condition before God before you were saved [Eph. 2:11] - this gives us great reason to praise and glorify God more - Paul's preconversion state [1 Tim 1:15-17 | Gal. 1:13, 22-24 | 1 Cor. 1:26-31] - this will cause us to be humble [1 Cor. 15:9-10] - circumcision was the sign of the covenant God made with Abraham; the external sign pointed to an inner reality [Gen. 17:1-14 | Deut. 30:6; 10:16] - We have a spiritual circumcision in our heart [Col. 2:11, Phil 3:3]

The great reversal [Eph. 2:13] - now we are in Christ and he in us [Col. 1:27] - we are now apart of the people of God [1 Pet. 2:9-10] - we are now no longer strangers to God's covenants [2 Cor. 1:20 | Gal. 3:29, 7, 9] - now we have hope - now we have God
