Q.171. How do we prepare to receive the Lord’s supper?
A. Preparation for the Lord’s supper involves careful examination:[1] of the condition of our life in Christ;[2] of our sins and failings;[3] of whether we truly and to what degree know God,[4] believe in him,[5] and have repented,[6] and of whether we love God and our fellow believers.[7] We should have a charitable attitude toward everyone,[8] including forgiveness of those who have wronged us.[9] We must also assess how much we desire Christ[10] and whether we are living in newness of obedience.[11] Finally we must renew the practice of these graces in us[12] by serious meditation[13] and fervent prayer.[14]
