Christ died to enable us to live by faith in Him, not in ourselves. Galatians 2:20 reminds us that our old self was crucified with Christ, and now Christ lives in us. As new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), we no longer live for ourselves but by trusting in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for us. This new life means we no longer depend on our own strength or desires—we remember Christ daily, live by faith in His power and promises, and show our love for Him through obedience (John 14:23-24). His death gives us the joy and purpose of living for Him.
