The term "remembrance," as used by Jesus at the Last Supper (not the Lord's Prayer), translates a Greek word (anamnēsis) that carries the deeper Hebrew meaning of zikkaron—an active memorial proclamation that makes a past event effectively present. Therefore, to "do this in remembrance of Me" is to participate in a ritual that proclaims Christ's sacrifice and glorifies God.

This command is a call to honor God's holiness. To willfully and persistently attack His holiness is to live in a state of rebellion that is incompatible with a relationship with Him. Salvation is a gift of grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate.

This grace does not grant a license to sin. The doctrine of salvation must be understood in the context of a relationship. Genuine salvation, by its nature, produces transformation. While a believer's standing before God (justification) is secure based on Christ's work, their fellowship with God can be broken by sin. The Holy Spirit convicts believers, leading them to repentance to restore that close fellowship.

Therefore, the assurance of salvation is found not in a mere verbal claim, but in the evidence of a life being progressively transformed to reflect God's character. A person who is truly covered by Christ's righteousness will not live a life of continual, unrepentant attack against God's holiness. Such a lifestyle provides serious cause for self-examination, as it contradicts the very nature of a saved relationship with God.
