The Gospel and the Means of Grace
What is required to the worthy receiving of the Lord's supper?
Answer
It is required of them that would worthily partake of the Lord's supper, that they examine themselves of their knowledge to discern the Lord's body (1 Corinthians 11:28-29), of their faith to feed upon him (2 Corinthians 13:5), of their repentance (1 Corinthians 11:31), love (1 Corinthians 10:16-17), and new obedience (1 Corinthians 5:7-8), lest coming unworthily they eat and drink judgment to themselves (1 Corinthians 11:28-29).
