Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
Romans 3:1 ESV

If what really matters for eternal salvation is circumcision of the heart and not circumcision of the flesh, what is the benefit in being one of God’s “chosen people”? And why did God give circumcision at all if it doesn’t benefit anyone? These are fair questions that much of Christendom has been struggling with since the very first Gentile came to believe in Yeshua.

Solomon wrote in Proverbs 9:10 that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and in Ecclesiastes 12:13 that the whole duty of mankind is to fear God and keep his commandments. Paul essentially restates this in 1 Corinthians 7:19, “Neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God.”

Keep the commandments of God, whether regarding marriage, civic duty, or circumcision, not because it will save you from eternal condemnation, but because you fear and love God.
