What does the Bible say about worthiness to partake in the Lord's Supper?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that every true believer is worthy to partake in the Lord's Supper as they trust in Christ alone for acceptance with God.

In 1 Corinthians 11:27-29, the Apostle Paul warns against eating the Lord's Supper unworthily, which has led many to believe they must first achieve a certain standard of holiness. However, true worthiness comes from understanding and discerning the Lord's body, which refers to accepting Christ's sacrifice for our sins. Every true believer, who relies solely on Christ's blood and righteousness, is deemed worthy to participate in this ordinance of worship. Thus, worthiness to partake in the Lord's Supper stems not from our personal piety but from our faith in Jesus as our Savior.
