Change From The Inside Out

Galatians 6:15
For neither is circumcision [now] of any importance, nor uncircumcision, but [only] a new creation [the result of a new birth and a new nature in Christ Jesus, the Messiah].

Circumcision was required of Abraham and all his men, and was then to include all males on the eighth day after their birth. This cutting away of the flesh was a sign they had a covenant with God. Under the New Covenant, there were some who insisted that even though one was born again, they were still to be circumcised. As Paul reveals in the above verse it is no longer of any importance, for under this New Covenant it is the inward change of the new man, this new creation of the human spirit that mattered.

This new birth of the human spirit is how one experiences the cutting away of the old fleshly nature, and you enter into a covenant with God. Man has always tried to change the inward man through outward actions. But if that were possible, you would not have needed Jesus. God came to change us, and the way we live our life, but that change comes from the inside out.

Colossians 2:11 – In him you were also circumcised. It was not a circumcision performed by human hands. But it was a removal of the corrupt nature in the circumcision performed by Christ. Here we are told that old fleshly nature was cut away in Christ when our spirit was reborn. It is this new nature within, the new man that we are to develop through the renewing of the mind that will change how we live on the outside. By the renewing of your mind, you are transformed outwardly to no longer be confirmed to the ways of the world.
