What does it mean to be worthy to take the Lord's Supper?

Answered in 1 source

Being worthy to take the Lord's Supper means recognizing Christ's completed work rather than one's own merit.

1 Corinthians 11 teaches that partaking in the Lord's Supper should be done in a manner that discerns the Lord's body, acknowledging that worthiness is not based on personal righteousness or behavior but solely on Christ’s sacrifice. We are deemed worthy because of the Lamb that was slain, not due to our actions leading up to the communion. Understanding this distinction is essential to appreciate the grace that God freely provides through Christ, reinforcing that our acceptance before God is based on Him alone, not on our imperfect efforts.
