Bible Note: Hello Steve: You are absolutley right about circumcision being the sign of the covenant. What's more is that it was a sign of God's faithful to Abraham not Abraham's faithfulness to God. Gen 17:7 "I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you." Circumcision was what God gave Abraham to do as acknowledgement of God's covenant with him. Gen 17:11 "And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you." But Abraham's righteousness was established long before this and it was based off his faith in God not the circumcision. See Gen 15:1-6 Blessing to you Aaron |
