—Deuteronomy 30:6-10

"Circumcision of the heart" is not purely a New Testament idea. As we see here, this promise was present early in Israel's history. Males were to be circumcised the usual way, but all people, male and female, should allow God to circumcise their hearts. Circumcision was a physical act and a spiritual act for all who follow God. Will we allow God to circumcise our hearts today, or will we do our own thing?
