Romans 4:10
"In what way then was it credited — while he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while he was circumcised, but uncircumcised."
Wedding rings are a symbol and/or sign of marriage, but the covenant and commitment between the husband and the wife IS marriage.
The substance is more important than the symbol or sign.
Abraham had God’s promise before he had God’s sign of the promise.
That said, Abraham didn’t refuse to participate in the sign by pointing back to the promise.
Nope.
He got sliced.
A good husband wear’s his wedding ring, but an even better husband is committed to keeping the vows (promise) that the ring represents.
