Faith, Repentance, and the Means of Grace

What is required to the worthy receiving of the Lord's Supper?

Answer

It is required of those who 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 11:18-20), and new obedience (1 Corinthians 5:8), lest coming unworthy, they eat and drink judgment to themselves (1 Corinthians 11:27-29).
