# Galatians 2:20 and Atonement **Galatians 2:20**: "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." (ESV) This verse teaches that Christ's atoning death is substitutionary ("gave himself for me") and transformative, enabling believers to die to their old self and experience new life through union with Christ. The atonement is presented as both a past accomplished work and a present reality where Christ now lives in the believer through faith.
