How do we know that receiving the Lord's Supper is meant for believers?

Answered in 1 source

The Lord's Supper is intended for believers as it is a means of grace for those who are alive in faith.

Our Lord's command to 'eat' and 'drink' in the context of the Lord's Supper implies participation for those who are spiritually alive. Only those who trust in Christ can truly benefit from the sacrament, as it is designed to strengthen and refresh genuine believers in their faith. The sacrament serves to assist them in resting in Christ and trusting Him entirely, emphasizing that it's not for the unconverted who lack spiritual life.
