Believers participate in the Lord's Supper to remember Christ's sacrifice and to affirm their faith in His salvation.
Participation in the Lord's Supper is essential for believers as it serves both as a memorial of Christ’s redemptive work and a means of spiritual nourishment. Traditionally observed as a practice of the New Testament church, it calls Christians to remember the death and resurrection of Christ, which is foundational to our faith. This ordinance invites believers to proclaim the Lord's death until He comes again, highlighting the importance of community and collective remembrance of God's grace. Those who partake should examine themselves, ensuring their understanding and appreciation of the significance of the elements involved.
