The Lord's Supper and the New Covenant

Through the cross, Jesus has inaugurated the New Covenant. The Lord's Supper is a sign of the New Covenant, and only those who have entered into the New Covenant are to participate in this sign. As we partake of the Lord's Supper, we remember the great benefits we have as members of the New Covenant. We have new hearts, a personal relationship with the Lord, and the full forgiveness of sin.
