I love this phrase. I’ve been saved for almost 45 years and I don’t think I have ever noticed this aspect of salvation before.
In Jesus neither circumcision or uncircumcision or, indeed, does anything. Works just cannot do. Dos don’t matter and don’ts don’t matter.
One work matters. That work is faith working through love. It is God’s work. We can love Him because He first loved us. His love moved Him to give His only begotten Son. God is love and He acts in love.
His love is not activated by our works. His love motivates us to work, but something comes first. Salvation is faith acting through His love for us. God loves His Son and sent His Son to die for us in love. In love He predestined those who put faith in Him to be adopted as His children.
Faith working through love – what a woderful truth.
