God compares the process of spiritual birth and growth to the labor pains a mother experiences in the delivery of her baby. Paul explains that he endured agonizing labor with the Galatian believers “…until Christ is formed in you” (4:19). “Formation” is from the Greek word morphe (to undergo transformation until the inner being is radically altered).
