King James Version

What does Galatians 4:19 mean? →

Passage Context

17They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
18But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
19My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
20I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
21Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

Paul had a clear goal for new followers of Jesus: he wanted Jesus to be formed in them. He wanted them to come to full maturity in Christ (see Colossians 1:28-29). He knew the Holy Spirit would help them in this process if they would focus their hearts on Jesus and seek to reflect Jesus' character in their lives (2 Corinthians 3:18). So, as we go through our daily activities, let's honor his goal — let's invite Jesus to come to life in us.

Prayer

Holy and righteous God, may the presence of Jesus grow in my thoughts, actions, and words, and may the worldly and wrong things I do and say shrink. May this be true today, but even more, dear Father, may it be clearer every day. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
