What does the Bible say about being formed in Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that being formed in Christ is essential for true salvation and eternal life, which involves knowing God and having the life of Christ within us.

In Galatians 4:19, Paul expresses a deep concern for the Galatian believers, comparing his ministry to the labor of childbirth. He emphasizes that until Christ is formed in them, their religious activities are merely a form of godliness lacking true substance. Salvation is not confined to external rituals or theological systems; rather, it is about experiencing the living presence of Christ in our hearts. The life of Christ being formed within believers is the essence of their relationship with God, transforming them from the inside out and instilling the hope of glory.
