I think Rom. 3:1-3 is instructive:
"What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God. For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not!"
The promises of God are voided through unbelief. This has not changed from OT to NT. Believers were always children of Abraham by faith, though this did not exclude the physical sign. Is this faith of a different quality than the Heb. 8 "better covenant"?
