In Galatians 4:19, what is the meaning of "Christ formed in you"? When Paul is speaking of Christ being in the Galatians, what is the true meaning of that phrase, &quot;Christ formed in you&quot;?  Does it relate directly to salvation?
In the context of the letter, he speaks of the woman Hagar who represents condemnation under the law and the free woman Sarah whom by Faith receives the blessing of God.  Paul writes that when the Galatians place themselves under the law they are condemned and not in Christ.  So, is the meaning of this condemnation purely earthly or is it also spiritual (hell vs heaven)?
I want to clarify what this means before taking the next step of, &quot;does this scripture mean we can lose our salvation?&quot;

(KJV)  My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be
formed in you,
(ESV) my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!

(emphasis added)
This may seem simplistic but you have already read the complex.  The meaning is simple.  Christ formed in us is exactly what it says.  First of all we initiate the salvation experience by surrendering to Christ and inviting Him into our heart to live and He is formed in us.  Additionally, as we grow in understanding, we become examples of Christianity and, essentially, Christ is formed in us once again.
