Mat 10 v 1-20; Acts 15 v 1-21; Ps 23 v 1-6; Gen 50 v 1-26
Circumcision of the heart

“But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus…” (Acts 15 v 11)

You have heard us say before, that we are saved by grace alone, in Christ alone, through faith alone and that the law of Moses cannot save us, but merely point us to the Cross.

Just as there were many who continued to proclaim the law of Moses and circumcision, even after coming to faith, we still find believers today, who preach the observance of this law…

I thank the Lord, that He has “cleansed our hearts by faith” (vers 9) and that we are now under the law of Christ, which is a spiritual law, engraved on our hearts, while living according to His principles.

This undeserved mercy that has befallen us, cannot be earned and without the Lord as our Shepherd, we will always fall short. Consider God’s abundant grace, His goodness, lovingkindness and compassion.

Meditate on His word everyday waking moment. There is not much time left before the Lord’s return, for His kingdom is near, when He will come in great power and glory. Until then, we are to abstain from what is evil and seek His perfect will.

Call on the Lord today and allow Him to wash you clean from all unrighteousness, through His blood that was shed. Rely on Him for your salvation and sanctification and allow His Spirit to guide you into all truth.
