What Avails In Christ “6: For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love” (Gal. 5).

What Avails In Christ “Circumcision: …was peculiarly, though not exclusively, a Jewish rite. It was enjoined upon Abraham, the father of the nation, by God, at the institution and as the token of the covenant, which assured to him and his descendants the promise of the Messiah. (Gen. 17.) It was thus made a necessary condition of Jewish nationality. Every male child was to be circumcised when eight days old, (Lev. 12: 3) on pain of death. The biblical notice of the rite describes it as distinctively Jewish; so that in the New Testament ‘the circumcision’ and ‘the uncircumcision’ are frequently used as synonyms for the Jews and the Gentiles” (Smith’s Bible Dictionary).

What Avails In Christ “6: For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love” (Gal. 5).

Abraham, the Friend of God Abraham was a man of implicit obedience. Great faith is not only trusting but also obedient (Gen. 12; 22; Heb. 11: 8, 17).
