“It is essential that we renew our covenants by partaking of the sacrament. When we do this with a sincere heart, with real intent, forsaking our sins, and renewing our commitment to God, the Lord provides a way whereby sins can be forgiven from week to week. Simply eating the bread and drinking the water will not bring that forgiveness. We must prepare and then partake with a broken heart and contrite spirit. The spiritual preparation we make to partake of the sacrament is essential to receiving a remission of our sins.” WayHeartRealSpiritualSpiritWaterSinLordWeekBrokenEssentialsEatingCommitmentDrinkingBreadPreparationSincereReceivingForgivenSacramentsCovenantCommitment To GodRemissionSincere Heart Author:Vaughn J Featherstone
