Question 81

API: GET /api/v1/documents/heidelberg/questions/81

For whom is the Lord’s supper instituted?

For those who are truly sorrowful for their sins, and yet trust that these are forgiven them for the sake of Christ;^a and that their remaining infirmities are covered by his passion and death;^b and who also earnestly desire to have their faith more and more strengthened, and their lives more holy;^c but hypocrites, and such as turn not to God with sincere hearts, eat and drink judgment to themselves.^d
