In the Christian life, faith is what counts, not our works. Faith is our response to God’s grace and this is the same in all true children of God. We have nothing to boast of in ourselves, only in God’s grace. The Judaizers thought to add their traditions to the work of Christ which would negate the value of the sacrifice He made. That would imply that what the Lord Jesus Christ went through on our behalf was not enough to meet our need. Anything that people seek to add to the cross-work is not only valueless, but an insulting response to the complete redemption price paid when He gave His life as a ransom for us. Our position is that of the true circumcision of the heart, not of a fleshly circumcision. The cutting off of the evil heart took place when God saved us by His grace alone. So we are the true circumcision of which the physical was a type. What we do is worship God in the Spirit when we have the mind of Christ. Also we find our cause of rejoicing is our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. What we don’t have is confidence in the flesh.
