L D OCTRINAL OCTRINAL LLESSON L ESSON SSECTION S ECTION 38 TTHE T HE CCHURCH C HURCH OORDINANCES O RDINANCES DOCTRINAL SUMMARY Christ instituted two ordinances that His followers were to observe; baptism as a one-time rite of initiation and the Lord’s Supper as a regular rite of remembrance. These ordinances communicate, seal, and confirm the possession of spiritual blessings by believers, who by responsively receiving the ordinances give expression of their faith in God and their allegiance to Him. The effect is “to put a visible difference between those that belong unto the church and the rest of the world, and to solemnly engage them to the service of God in Christ...” (Westminster Confession XXVII.1). Baptism signifies inward cleansing, remission of sin, Spirit-wrought regeneration, new life, and the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit as God’s seal. Baptism carries these meanings because it fundamentally signifies our union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection ~ thus it signifies a watershed point in a person’s life as an ingrafting into Christ’s risen life. The Lord’s Supper is an act of worship taking the form of a ceremonial meal, wherein Christ’s servants share the elements in memory and celebration of the New Covenant relationship with God through Christ. The Lord’s Supper has three levels of meaning: first, it has past reference to the death of Christ. Secondly, it has present reference to our corporate feeding and abiding in Him by faith ~ with implications as to how we should treat our fellow believers and how we should examine our relationship with the Lord (1Cor. 11:18-34). And thirdly, it has a future reference as we look ahead and are encouraged by the thought of Christ’s return. AS YOU PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER YOUR RESPONSE: In obedience to Christ I must receive His baptism and continually partake of His table. (Acts. 2:41,42) HOMEWORK: Read key passages daily. Read Grudem chapters 49 and 50. Notes GREAT DOCTRINES IV ~ THE CHURCH PART 4~SECTION 38~PAGE 3 S 38 T C O
