The Lord's Supper is reserved for believers as only they have true communion with Christ.
The Lord's Supper is intended specifically for believers because it represents a unique communion with Christ that non-believers do not share. Paul makes it clear that partaking in the Lord's Table is incompatible with the tables of devils (1 Corinthians 10:21), emphasizing that this sacred event is not open to those who are spiritually unqualified. Only those who have experienced the work of Christ in their hearts, recognizing Him as their Savior, can partake meaningfully in this ordinance. In fact, Jesus did not invite the entire world to partake but directly shared the meal with His disciples, highlighting that it is a covenant meal for those in His fold.
