So then what do we do about it?
That's the ultimate question. Fortunately, the Bible is incredibly clear with the answer, though virtually no one teaches it . . . especially our "pastors."
The answer is that we must turn to Christ for the removal of the Curse of Adam and Eve. This Spiritual process is technically referred to as "Circumcision of Heart." Between the KJV and NLT translations, it is best and easiest understood.
Colossians 2:11-15 NLT - "When you came to Christ,
you were "circumcised," but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a
spiritual circumcision--the cutting away of your sinful nature. 12 For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead. 13
You were dead because of your sins and because
your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. 14
He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 In this way,
he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He
shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross."
Colossians 2:11-15 KJV - "In whom also
ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off
the body of the sins of the flesh by the
circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him]
through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and
took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 [And] having
spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly,
triumphing over them in it."
Very few Christians realize that the Primary Purpose of Jesus is to relieve us of the Curse of Adam and Eve. Without this Purification, nothing else matters. We can hold every piece of Biblical knowledge that this is, but if we remain under that Curse, none of it matters. Asking Jesus to Circumcise your heart is the single most important event that could ever take place in your life . . . without it, there is no Eternal Life. As said, nothing else is more important than to be alleviated of this Curse, for nothing Cursed may enter the presence of our Holy and Mighty God.
Philippians 3:7-11 NKJV - "But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead."
Phil 3:7-11 above is accomplished by Christ and His Holy Work as discussed in Col 2:11-15, also above.
We must lift our uncircumcised Hearts to Christ for His Holy Operation of Faith! :)
