Living by Faith: The Power of Christ Within (Bible Study)

Galatians 2:20

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20 is one of the most powerful declarations of the Christian identity. In this verse, the Apostle Paul speaks about a total transformation—a life surrendered, redeemed, and now fully alive in Christ. It reminds us that the Christian journey is not about improving our old selves, but about dying to self and allowing Jesus to live through us.

To be crucified with Christ means we are united with Him in His death. When Jesus died, He took the penalty for our sin. By accepting His sacrifice, we die to our old sinful nature—our selfish desires, pride, and need for control.

This isn’t just a symbolic death—it’s a spiritual reality. Our old life is gone. We no longer belong to ourselves but to Christ.

Here lies the beauty of the Gospel: we are not left empty—we are filled with Christ. His Spirit dwells in us, empowering us to live in a way that honors God. We are not trying to be better on our own; we are being transformed from the inside out.

This truth brings freedom. We don't have to rely on our strength—we rely on His life in us.

Our new life is lived by faith—not in ourselves, not in our circumstances, but in the One who loves us. Faith is trusting daily in Jesus, depending on Him in every moment.

Living by faith means surrendering daily, choosing to obey, and believing that Christ in us is enough.

The motivation for this new life is love. Jesus gave Himself for you. His sacrifice wasn't just a general act—it was personal. He knows you, loves you, and died for you.

When you grasp that truth, living for Him becomes not a burden, but a joyful response to His love.

Galatians 2:20 invites us into a radical new way of life—one where we are no longer the center. Jesus is. When we surrender fully to Him, we discover true freedom, deep joy, and the power to live a life that reflects His glory. It is no longer you alone—it is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
