Circumcision Required by God When a person undergoes the circumcision of the heart, the circumcision of Jesus Christ, he will put away, he will cast off, he will overcome the various desires of the flesh and of the world. He will seek first the will of God. He will seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Conclusion This circumcision of the heart is a circumcision of choice. No person will undergo the circumcision of his heart against his will. Each person must willingly submit himself to Jesus Christ and His word. Each person must willingly repent and turn to Jesus Christ. Each person must count the cost. (Luke 14:25-33)

Conclusion Are you willing to become a child of God? Are you willing to make the necessary changes in your life? Are you willing to circumcise your heart, cutting away the desires and love of the world? If so, then let us help you to turn your life to Jesus Christ through obedience to the gospel's call unto salvation.
