In the book of Galatians, chapter 2 verse 20, Paul writes; "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives within me."

Paul is telling the people in the Church in Galatia that since he has accepted Jesus Christ as his savior, Christs being crucified was for Paul's sins. (Ours too) Those of us that believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that he died to cleanse us of our sins, well our sins have been crucified with Jesus on the cross. So in a sense, we have been crucified with Christ. Our sins were taken upon Jesus.

In regards to the "I no longer live, but Christ lives within me." Paul is saying that his old life or old ways are dead to him. He now has Jesus in his heart and that his life is lived according to Jesus. Jesus is in charge of his life.

Jesus is in my life too. This doesn't mean that I or Paul are perfect. By no means. But since we have Christ in our lives, we strive to live out our lives as Jesus would have us.
