Communion Helps... Prep your heart
“The very fact that Jesus instituted this practice (Holy Communion) for His disciples is an indictment of our own tendency to forget the reality, necessity, and cost of our redemption. It is also a testimony to Christ’s wisdom and love in providing us with an ongoing, regular, and dramatic reminder of these saving truths.” --Tom Ascol
John Gerstner, “The thing that really separates us from God is not so much our sin, but our damnable good works.”
HC Question 81: For whom is the Lord's supper instituted?Answer: For those who are truly sorrowful for their sins, and yet trust that these are forgiven them for the sake of Christ; and that their remaining infirmities are covered by His passion and death; and who also earnestly desire to have their faith more and more strengthened, and their lives more holy. But hypocrites, and such as turn not to God with sincere hearts, eat and drink judgment to themselves.
