The Jewish Quandary: If I Break God's Laws, Can Circumcision Save Me? We must all have a “circumcision of heart”! Physical rites are of value only if our hearts are obedient to God (25) Obedience shows our true heart (26-27) Keeping the Law makes uncircumcision circumcision (26) Keeping the law puts the Gentile ahead of the Law-breaking Jew (27) Spiritual “circumcision” is what saves us (28-29) The true Jew is not merely one outwardly (28) The true Jew is one inwardly (29) Circumcision is a matter of the heart (29a) By the Spirit, not by the letter (29b) His praise is not from man but from God (29c)
