How do we know that true believers can partake of the Lord's Supper?

Answered in 1 source

True believers partake of the Lord's Supper through faith in Christ, which makes them acceptable to receive this ordinance.

In the context of 1 Corinthians 11, Paul specifies that only those who have faith in Christ should partake in the Lord's Supper. The call to 'examine yourself' is about confirming faith in Christ rather than measuring personal worthiness based on behavior. Any sinner who trusts in Christ alone for righteousness is deemed worthy to partake of this sacred ordinance. Thus, genuine faith in Christ is the key criterion which affirms a believer's readiness to receive the Lord’s Supper.
