When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision-the cutting away of your sinful nature. – Colossians 2:11 (NLT)
SPIRITUAL CIRCUMCISION
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you run to Christ, your life is going to be transformed
You will see the lies and deception perpetuated by the world
God will ensure that sin has no power over you any longer
He will make your minds renewed and you will be stronger.
When you surrender to Christ, you will have wisdom and mature
He spiritually circumcised and cut away your sinful nature
You were buried with his Son when you were baptized
You were raised to a new life just like our Lord, Jesus Christ.
“You must cut off the flesh of your foreskin as a sign of the covenant between me and you.” –Genesis17:11. The Lord said that a time is coming when he will punish all those who are circumcised in body but not in spirit. –Jeremiah 9:25. God also told his people through Jeremiah in 4:4 –“O people of Judah and Jerusalem! surrender your pride and power. Change your hearts before the Lord.
When we came to Christ, we received spiritual circumcision where our sinful nature was cut off. We need to honor that covenant with God.
PRAYER
Lord, free me from corruption of this world.
REFLECTION
What impurities do you need to bring to the cross of Christ?
