The True Circumcision
Deuteronomy 30:6
And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love the LORD your God with all your heart…


I. THE AUTHOR OF IT. "The Lord thy God." He alone can deal effectively with our heart, and take away its carnality and pollution.

II. WHERE IT IS WROUGHT. It is not of the flesh, but of the spirit. It is the essential mark of the covenant of grace.

III. THE RESULT. "That thou mayest live." To be carnally minded is death. In the overcoming of the flesh we find life and peace.

( C. H. Spurgeon.)
