The chief blessing of the Sacrament is the forgiveness of sins which Christ's body and blood have won for us on the cross. (The Lord's Supper is a means of grace.) Together, with forgiveness, God gives all other blessings as well, that is, "life and salvation." In the Sacrament Christ gives victory over sin and hell and strength for the new life in Him. As Christians partake of this sacrament together, they make a solemn public confession of Christ and of unity in the truth of His Gospel. (Matt. 26:28; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Col. 1:22; 1 John 1:7; Rom. 6:8-9; Rom. 8:31-32; Rom. 8:10; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Cor. 10:17; 1 Cor. 11:26) |
