How does Galatians 2:20 express the same concept as 2 Corinthians 5:14-15?
Galatians 2:20 says, "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I but Christ liveth in me." This matches 2 Corinthians 5:14-15, where Christ died for all so those who live should no longer live unto themselves but unto Him who died and rose again.
Les explains that Galatians 2:20—"I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I but Christ liveth in me"—carries the same concept as 2 Corinthians 5:14-15. There, the love of Christ constrains because one died for all, making all dead, and He died for all so that those who live spiritually through the new birth should not live unto themselves but unto Him who died and rose again. The result is new creation: old things pass away and all things become new, part of salvation, with God creating a transformed mind.
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
See the restI am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
