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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that only true believers, those who trust Christ alone for salvation, are worthy to partake in the Lord's Supper.

According to 1 Corinthians 11:27-29, the worthiness to receive the Lord's Supper is not based on one's personal righteousness but on the worthiness of Christ. Every true believer, defined as a sinner who trusts Christ, is worthy because of their faith in Him. The text emphasizes that it is not about our own merits but rather about being clothed in the righteousness of Christ. This understanding underscores the importance of discerning the body of Christ, which means recognizing one’s own reliance on Him and His sacrifice rather than one's own perceived worthiness or performance.
