Who are to come to the Lord's table [in church]?So, sinners welcome; hypocrites keep away. Will you come?
Those who are displeased with themselves because of their sins, but who nevertheless trust that their sins are pardoned and that their continuing weakness is covered by the suffering and death of Christ, and who also desire more and more to strengthen their faith and to lead a better life. Hypocrites and those who are unrepentant, however, eat and drink judgement on themselves. [Heidelberg Catechism Q&A 81]
As Christ said, 'Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.'
