Galatians 6:15
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Reading in Gal 6 this morning where Paul tells the Galatians, dead works—even dead works of circumcision—are useless when it comes to the Christian faith. What God wants is from uses to be new creations in Christ, and this is something that does not come by works. It comes by faith.
What does it mean to be a new creation? Paul has already told us in Gal. 2.20; we are to be crucified with Christ so that Christ lives in me. See also 2Cor 5.17.
