(Rom 15:8) “Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:” The promise made to Abraham was a twofold promise: land and a father of many nations; through his Seed all the nations of the earth would be blessed. Circumcision was to be a sign of that promise. Jesus was that Seed, the fulfillment of the promise is through Him.
