# Galatians 2:20 and the Fear of the Lord Galatians 2:20 states: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me" (NIV). This verse doesn't directly address the fear of the Lord, but rather emphasizes **radical self-denial and union with Christ**. The implicit connection to fearing God would be that truly being "crucified with Christ" requires a reverent submission to God's will that displaces self-centered living, replacing it with Christ-centered faith and obedience.
