What does it mean to have Christ live in us?

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20 NKJV)

  1. We are to be crucified in Christ, for the purpose of dying to self and to sin.
  2. For those who are born again believers in Christ, it is no longer our life, but Christ’s.
  3. The Life that we now live in the flesh, we live by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for us.

In one sense it is no longer we who live as Paul says, “We have been crucified with Christ”, but there is also a recognition that we are still living in our fleshly bodies. This is speaking of the duality that we have as born again believers. While we have a Spirit being created in us a new life in Christ, we also still are occupying our earthly bodies. We know that we will continue to be transformed by the renewal of our mind, through the power of Scripture and the Holy Spirit to direct us in the ways of God, we must also at the same time resist the urges, or desires of the flesh.
