Gal 2:20

2:20 Union with Christ means that He represented us in His death and resurrection. But it means more, for it is a living union. Jesus is present with the believer; by the Spirit the Lord lives in inward fellowship with His own. Paul does not mean that the individuality of a person is suppressed or absorbed; he lives “in the flesh” by “faith.” The union is a spiritual relationship of the utmost intimacy.
