Galatians 2:20 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

The Apostle goes on to describe how he is freed from sin; how far he is from continuing therein. I am crucified with Christ — Made conformable to his death; "the body of sin is destroyed." Romans 6:6. And I — As to my corrupt nature. Live no longer — Being dead to sin. But Christ liveth in me — Is a fountain of life in my inmost soul, from which all my tempers, words, and actions flow. And the life that I now live in the flesh — Even in this mortal body, I live by faith in the Son of God — I derive every moment from that supernatural principle; from a divine evidence and conviction, that "he loved me, and delivered up himself for me."

Galatians 2:20

20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
