re: follow christ
"incorprated in christ by baptism, christians are 'dead to sin and alive to god in christ jesus' and to participate in the life of the risen lord. [rom 6:11, 6:5; col 2:12]. following christ and united with him [cf. jn 15:5], christians can strive to be 'imitators of god as beloved chidren, and walk in love' [eph 5:1-2] by conforming their THOUGHTS, WORDS and ACTIONS to the 'mind which is yours in christ jesus,' [phil 2:5], and by FOLLOWING HIS EXAMPLE (cf. jn 13:12-16]."
