That's where our faith in Jesus comes in. He fulfills the demands of the relationship. He dies cut off from his people, we're told, outside of the city on a cross so that he can bear the curse of the covenant for us. So why do we not have to have circumcision required for us? Because Jesus came and shed his blood once and for all for us, ending all physical rights of the old covenant. The permanence of our relationship with the Lord is based on the work of Jesus. It now rests on Jesus.
