Obedience from the Heart

Commentators explain that the obedience mentioned here is not mere external rule-following. It is the direct result of the "circumcised heart" God promises in verse 6. True obedience flows from a regenerated heart that has been changed by God's grace to genuinely love Him and hate sin. It is the outward proof of an inward conversion.
