Paul regards Christians as those who have been buried with Christ through baptism and risen with him through the resurrection. Such people are dead to sin; sin no longer reigns in their bodies. They must therefore live a new life, apply their minds to heavenly things and do away with their former life. Christians must do away with immorality such as impurity, passion, evil desires, greed, anger, bad temper, malice, slander and shameful language. Christians must not lie to one another because they have put on a new life. In the new life, there are no differences; Christ is all and in all. As God's chosen people, enjoying His love, Christians must show tenderness of heart, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, endurance and bear one another's burden.
They should forgive one another as God has forgiven them and crown all their virtues with love which is the perfect bond of union. They should let the peace of Christ reign in their lives and be thankful. The enriching message of Christ should influence whatever they do. They should instruct and admonish one another in all wisdom with Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing in thankful spirit. Anything they do should be done in the name of Jesus.

(b) Steps to be taken before initiation into New Life in my Church are:
(i) The word of God should first be preached and heard.
(ii) Confession of sin by word of mouth then follows after conviction and belief in the word heard.
(iii) The third step is baptism.
(iv) Determination to lead a Christ-like life as a full member of the church
(v) Confirmation by the Bishop of the Church, after which he is entitled to partake in the body and blood of Jesus during Holy communion.
