PARAGRAPH 5

The outward elements in this ordinance, duly set apart to the use ordained by Christ, have such relation to Him crucified, as that truly, although in terms used figuratively, they are sometimes called by the names of the things they represent, to wit, the body and blood of Christ,7 albeit, in substance and nature, they still remain truly and only bread and wine, as they were before.8

7 1 Cor. 11:27
8 1 Cor. 11:26–28

That doctrine which maintains a change of the substance of bread and wine, into the substance of Christ's body and blood, commonly called transubstantiation, by consecration of a priest, or by any other way, is repugnant not to Scripture alone,9 but even to common sense and reason, overthrows the nature of the ordinance, and has been, and is, the cause of manifold superstitions, yea, of gross idolatries.10

9 Acts 3:21; Luke 14:6,39
10 1 Cor. 11:24–25

Titus 3:4-5a

1. Through His Goodness And Loving Kindness.

4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 He saved us,…

2. Not Because Of Works Done By Us.

5 He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness,…

3. According To His Mercy.

5 He saved us,…but according to His own mercy,…

Ephesians 6:9

1. The Masters Are To Relate With The Slaves In A Similar Way.

9 Masters, do the same to them,…

2. The Masters Are To Relate With The Slaves Without Threatening Them.

9 Masters,…and stop your threatening,…

3. The Masters Are To Remember That There Is A Heavenly Master.

9 Masters,…knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.

1. Meditation Is Necessary Because God Has Given Us His Word That We May Meditate Upon It.

2. Meditation Is Necessary Because Without It We Cannot Be Godly Christians.

3. Meditation Is Necessary Because Only Through It Will Head Knowledge Become Heart Knowledge.

PARAGRAPH 3

The Lord Jesus hath, in this ordinance, appointed His ministers to pray, and bless the elements of bread and wine, and thereby to set them apart from a common to a holy use, and to take and break the bread; to take the cup, and, they communicating also themselves, to give both to the communicants.5

5 1 Cor. 11:23–26, etc.

The denial of the cup to the people, worshipping the elements, the lifting them up, or carrying them about for adoration, and reserving them for any pretended religious use, are all contrary to the nature of this ordinance, and to the institution of Christ.6

6 Matt. 26:26–28, 15:9, Exod. 20:4–5

Titus 3:3

1. We Were Slaves To Sin

- foolish,

- disobedient,

- led astray,

- slaves to various passions and pleasures,

- passing our days in malice and envy,

- hated by others and hating one another.
