Bible verse
Galatians 2:20
“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.”
What it means
The heart of the Christian life: our old self dies with Christ, and He lives in us. It is no longer about our striving, but about His life at work within us.
