What does it mean for Christ to be formed in us?

Answered in 2 sources

For Christ to be formed in us means experiencing a profound spiritual transformation that results in a life reflective of His character and righteousness.

In Galatians 4:19, Paul expresses his desire that Christ be formed in the believers, which signifies a deep, transformative work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. This process, likened to metamorphosis, indicates a change that is permanent and marks a believer's spiritual journey toward Christlikeness. When Christ is formed in us, we begin to exhibit His nature and righteousness, which cannot be undone. This formation is foundational to genuine faith and assurance, establishing believers firmly in the truth of the gospel and grounding them in grace, resulting in a life that glorifies God.
