Circumcision


Circumcision

Philippians 3:3 

3 For we are the circumcision, the ones who worship by the Spirit of God, exult in Christ Jesus and do not rely on human credentials

 

Not filled with indecision,

that we did inherit,

when we lived without Jesus

although we did our best.

 

Then I followed my old nature

and did the good I needed

to be justified to self

and feel satisfied.

The things I gained were failure

and now are superseded

by the Gift, I have through Jesus

when He offered His Best with might.
