After seeing this Deut. 7:13, also 30:6, what a great understanding occurred. ch.7 was showing that God would show love by giving basically everything a person would need abundantly. That came to me that he does that for us out of love. Faith would receive those blessings. Same as seek first the kingdom of God and all will be added to you. Matt. 6:33. He has never changed.
Now in 30:6, we see that circumcision here was the heart and not just foreskin. By this love for God which as you read is the greatest commandment Jesus mentioned in Matt. 22:40. In Rom. 2:29 He shows circumcision is of the heart.
In Col. 2:11 circumcision was a covenant sign. the cutting of of the flesh. That is sin removed. Now it is done by Jesus forgiveness and not a outward sign. it is of the heart. see 2:13. In Deut. 30:6 we have this promise to the seed. If it says a person' name that is one seed. If it says to your seed it means all seed. Now in Gal. 3:29 Jesus took on him the seed of Abraham. In Gal. 3:14 we have the promise of the Holy Spirit to receive the blessings.
To be clear-- 1. God gives all his blessings because of love.
2. from the outward sign we have to the heart. that is given forgiveness by Jesus. cut off flesh unto the Holy Spirit.
3. All seed from Deut. 30:6 to Gal.3:29 shall receive love and blessings, by God's Spirit. Jesus seed is his people.
4. God has never changed. faith works by love. Gal. 5:6 circumcision or un circumcision is nothing. If you are Christ's seed you are filled with the earnest of all his love and blessings by the receiving of his Holy Spirit baptism. read Eph. 1:13-14. Also Col. 2:11. see how Deut. 30:6 applies? we have a better covenant based on better promises. Heb. 8:6.
faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.
