Despite the assertions of some scholars to the contrary, this most naturally refers to the preexistence of Christhe, the eternal Son, was there with the Father (John 1:1; 17:5, 24) before he was born in Bethlehem. 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 the), 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) 55Applied-Apologetics Slide 56 Philippians 2:6 FORM It might also refer to the fact that he is the visible expression of Gods invisible glory (Col. 1:15). Remarkably, Christ did not imagine that having equality with God (which he already possessed) should lead him to hold onto his privileges at all costs. It was not something to be grasped, to be kept and exploited for his own benefit or advantage. Instead, he had a mind-set of service. Christ did not please himself (Rom. 15:3). In humility, he counted the interests of others as more significant than his own (Phil. 2:34). ESV Study Bible. Good News Publishers/Crossway Books.
