We of the Circumcision made without Hands

We of the circumcision made without hands (Col.2:11, Phil.3:3 below), who worship God in spirit and truth (Jn.4:23-24 below) have become a "new" creature in Christ Jesus (2 Cor.5:17, Gal.6:15 below), reconciled in one body, His living body (Col.1:24) the church of God (1 Cor.10:32 below).

There is neither Jew nor Greek in Christ; we are all one (Gal.3:28 below); we have BECOME the church of God.

Col.2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands (Phil.3:3 below), in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

Phil.3:3 For we are the circumcision (Col.2:11 above), which worship God in the spirit (Jn.4:23-24 below), and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Jn.4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth (Phil.3:3 above): for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

Jn.4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.

A New Creature in Christ

2 Cor.5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature (Gal.6:15 below): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Gal.6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature (2 Cor.5:17 above).

Reconciled in One Body

Eph.2:16 And that he might reconcile BOTH unto God in one body (the church of God - 1 Cor.10:32 below) by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

1 Cor.10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God (Col.1:24 below).

Col.1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body's sake, which IS the church (1 Cor.10:32 above).

Neither Jew nor Greek in Christ Jesus

Gal.3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Eternal Life in Eternity

In the height of heaven (Job 22:12 below), in the third heaven (2 Cor.12:2 below) God inhabits eternity (Isa.57:15 below) and dwells in Zion (Joel 3:21, Ps.23:6 below), the city of the living God (Heb.12:22 below).

Christ CHOSE us BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love (Eph.1:4 below): and He gave those He chose eternal life (Jn.10:28-29, Jn.3:36, Jn.17:2 below).

Having been given eternal life, we in Christ Jesus are passed from death unto life (Jn.5:24, 2 Cor.5:8 below), never to die, to live with God in Eternity (Isa.57:15 below), in His kingdom (Dan.7:18, Dan.7:22 below), an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that does not fade away (1 Pe.1:3-4 below).

We are of the household of God (Eph.2:19 below).

Job 22:12 [Is] not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

2 Cor.12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

Isa. 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Joel 3:21 For I will cleanse their blood [that] I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.

Ps.23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me (David) all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Heb.12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion (Re.14:1), and unto the city of the living God, the HEAVENLY Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.

Eph.1:4 According as he (Christ) hath CHOSEN US in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love (Jn.5:24 below):

Jn.3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life (Jn.5:24 below): and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Jn.5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life (Jn.3:36 above), and shall not come into condemnation (Eph.1:4 above); but is passed FROM death UNTO life.

2 Cor.5:8 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Jn.10:28 And I give unto them eternal life (Jn.3:36, Jn.5:24 above); and they shall NEVER perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand (Jn.10:29 below).

Jn.10:29 My Father, which gave [them] me (Eph.1:4 above, 1 Pe.1:3-4 below), is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand (Jn.10:28 above).

Jn.17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast GIVEN him.

1 Pe.1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1 Pe.1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

Eph.2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Dan.7:18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom (Dan.7:22 below) for ever, even for ever and ever.

Dan.7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom (Dan.7:18 above).
