The Cup of Sanctification

Our understanding of the four cups of the Passover changes how we approach and receive communion. We were created to participate in the divine.  The Biblical word for promise literally translates: "to make a future guarantee." God's promises have a purpose! And just as He brought the Israelites out from under the yoke of the Egyptians, we too have been promised salvation. We are His people--set apart. Therefore, drink from the first cup, believe and be saved!
