In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self, ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. Colossians 2:11-12 NIV
When one comes to Jesus Christ, they are circumcised, but not by human hands. The old self, that which is of this world, is removed from the body, and the inner being is replaced by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Our old self is now buried. It has died. We have been baptized into Jesus Christ, and into His death and resurrection. We are dead to the slavery of the flesh, that which desires earthly lusts. Earthly desires cannot fill us, nor provide true worth to us. So, through Christ, we choose to die to this old way of self. We are now resurrected to a new being, a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. We have died to self. We now serve, just as our Lord did. We love others as we love ourselves. We are more concerned about the well-being of others than of our own. We know that God will provide for us all that we need. We know that the heavenly treasures stored up for us far exceed that which we now have given up here on earth. We will face trials and tribulations while in our human body. But, with the indwelling Spirit, prayer with Christ, and the word of God, we can run the race to which we were called. At the finish line abundance of treasure beyond our wildest dreams awaits us.
