Mark of Covenant Grace

"And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed,
to the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul that thou
mayest live" (Deuteronomy 30:6).

Here we read of the true circumcision. Note the author of it: "The LORD thy
God." He alone can deal effectually with our heart and take away its carnality
and pollution. To make us love God with all our heart and soul is a miracle of
grace which only the Holy Ghost can work. We must look to the LORD alone for
this and never be satisfied with anything short of it.

Note where this circumcision is wrought. It is not of the flesh but of the
Spirit. It is the essential mark of the covenant of grace. Love to God is the
indelible token of the chosen seed; by this secret seal the election of grace
is certified to the believer. We must see to it that we trust in no outward
ritual but are sealed in heart by the operation of the Holy Ghost.

Note what the result is-"that thou mayest live." To be carnally minded is
death. In the overcoming of the flesh, we find life and peace. If we mind the
things of the Spirit, we shall live. Oh, that Jehovah, our God, may complete
His gracious work upon our inner natures, that in the fullest and highest sense
we may live unto the LORD.
