Circumcision of the heart by the spirit inwardly will bring praise from God


Circumcision of the heart by the spirit inwardly will bring praise from God

Rom 2:29

29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.

John 5:44

44 How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

John 12:43

42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved human praise more than praise from God.

1 Cor 4:5

Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.

We learn the following from the above verses

1)   Circumcision of the heart by the spirit inwardly will bring praise from God
2)   Do we seek the glory that only comes from God?
3)   Openly acknowledging our faith and not fearing on what others think about us would bring praise from God
4)   God will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.
