15. Philippians 2:6 – “FORM” ● “Prior to the incarnation, Christ was in the form of God (Gk. morphē theou)…“Form” here means the true and exact nature of something, possessing all the characteristics and qualities of something. Therefore having the “form of God” is roughly equivalent to having equality with God (Gk. isa theō), and it is directly contrasted with having the “form of a servant” (Phil. 2:7). The Son of God is and always has been God. “Form” could also be a reference to Christ being the ultimate image of God, “the exact imprint of his nature” (Heb. 1:3)…” 15Applied-Apologetics
