When God called Abraham he was a Gentile born and raised in paganism. He followed an unknown God to unknown lands with faith that this God could do more than the gods that he had been raised with. Isaac's circumcision does not make him holy but the faith displayed by his father justified the whole family line. Today we become circumcised through the commandments. These are not means to purchase redemption but rather signs that the redemption has been accepted.
