In Joshua 5, God instructed Joshua to have the men circumcised who had been born and raised in the wilderness. The original generation that had come out of Egypt had died in the wilderness and it was now time for the next generation to possess the promised land. Before they could do this, they would have to be circumcised. Circumcision was simply a reminder of their covenant with Almighty God. God was letting them know that they were no longer to see themselves as slaves, they were to see themselves as covenant men. Whenever they would encounter any situation, they would remind themselves that they were covenant men and were about to experience all that God had for them. If we are to walk in what God has for us, we must forget the sins of the past, and remind ourselves of who we are in Christ. Once we get a revelation of who we are in Christ, we can enjoy the benefits that God has promised us in His Word.
