We Are The Circumcision

Philippians 3:3

"For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh."

Wow!  There is a lot we can draw from in this one verse!  Firstly, we are the circumcision.  We have been set apart by God.  Now, why is that?  Because Christ has been set apart. And we are in Christ!  Circumcision also speaks of the old being removed and done away with.  This is a Truth that we will forever be unraveling and being blown away by!  The old nature that was sinful, evil and corrupt is gone!  Dead!  It was taken upon by Christ, crucified, dead and buried!

The interesting thing to note is that the verse goes onto say that we worship by the Spirit of God.  I find that an interesting connection.  From our old selves being crucified to our new selves worshipping by the Spirit of God.  You see, we now live new lives through our spirit beings.  We have access to the spiritual realm of Heaven where there is no remnant of the corruption of mankind.  We live from that realm to this one.  Overturning the effects of "the fall" through that Supernatural connection.  Could this be our worship?  Out of our spiritual union with God, the world is transformed around us?  Interesting!

And our Glory is nothing else but Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh!  We can't live this life according to our flesh.  We'll die of stress, worry and anxiety!  It's not worth it!  When we recognise that the only True Life is the Life of Christ, it is not worth putting any trust in our flesh whatsoever.

Father, thank You for this mind blowing Truth!  That Christ lives in us and through us!  And that through our connection (by Christ) into the Supernatural Realm of God, we can change the world around us.  Help us to know this Truth more and more.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.
