# Galatians 2:20 and Obedience **Galatians 2:20** states: "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 obedience flows not from our own effort but from Christ living in us through faith. True Christian obedience comes from our identity being transformed—we are "crucified with Christ," meaning our old self-centered nature is dead, and now Christ's life working through us produces godly actions. Rather than striving in our own strength, we obey by faith as we depend on Christ's power and love within us.
