circumcision!

We talked for a little bit about circumcision in Galatians 6:11-17. Paul is talking to the people living in Galatia.
He emphasized  that the circumcision on the physical body is not the real circumcision if the person keeps on doing the same things that are not honorable, making a the circumcision as a sticker identifying those who do not want to be persecuted for being followers of Christ. So for Paul being circumcised or not circumcised does not matter, but what matters is to really be a part of the new creation.
As a believer you become a new creation for God. I believe that the real circumcision does not have to do with the pysical but the inside. The circumcision of the heart, which I believe that if we ask God to circumcise our hearts this will remove so much stuff that obstructs our life in Christ and so the circumcision will get us nearer to HIM.
