How do we know the Lord's Supper is a command from Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Lord's Supper is identified as a command from Christ based on Paul's teachings, which emphasize that it was instituted by the Lord Himself.

The Lord's Supper is recognized as a command from Christ because the Apostle Paul clearly states in 1 Corinthians 11:23 that he received this directive from the Lord. Christ instituted the ordinance during the Last Supper, a significant moment when He broke the bread and shared the cup, declaring them to be symbols of His body and blood. By stating 'this do in remembrance of me,' Jesus establishes this practice as a command for His followers. This reinforces the notion that participation in the Lord's Supper is not optional but is an act of obedience and worship that embodies the believer's faith in the finished work of Christ.
