The essential unity of religious experience is thus based upon the essential and universal relation of Christ to men. In Phil. Ii. 7, which has been regarded as the great classic on the subject, the pre-existence of Christ is clearly assumed. Paul there exhorts Christians to imitate the humility of Christ, " who, being in the form of God, counted it not a prize to be on an equality with God, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of man. " The statement th...at Christ was originally in the form of God evidently means that in a former state the glory of His divine nature was openly manifested. This being the case, He did not think that equality with God was a thing to be violently grasped. It belonged to Him by right. In becoming man He emptied Himself, not of His divine nature, but of His divine glory. He submitted to the limitations of human life, coming into it in a lowly way, " taking upon Him the form of a servant. " He suffered His divine glory to be obscured.
