Galatians 2:20
“I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.”
What does Galatians 2:20 mean?
Paul is describing something profound that happens when we place our trust in Jesus: our old self, with all its fears and broken ways of running our own lives, dies with him on the cross. What replaces it isn't emptiness, but Christ himself living through us, reshaping how we think, choose, and love. The everyday life we still live in our bodies isn't lived by our own strength or wisdom anymore, but by trusting in Jesus and remembering that he gave everything for us personally. It's not about becoming a ghost or losing your personality, but about being so convinced of his love that you stop trying to prove yourself and start letting him direct your steps. This kind of trust becomes the fuel for how you actually move through your days.
