Why Is Christian Communion Only for Believers? – Gospel Truths
Christian Communion is not an exclusive club; anyone who believes in Jesus Christ is welcome to participate. It is, however, a sacred ordinance that requires thoughtful spiritual preparation through prayer. It serves as an intimate gathering where believers enter into the holy presence of God to remember Christ’s sacrifice. Because God’s absolute holiness cannot abide sin, approaching His presence requires spiritual transformation; while all humans are sinners, believers have confessed, repented, and placed their faith in Jesus, resulting in Christ’s flawless righteousness being imputed to them. By guarding the table for those clothed in the purity of Christ, churches honor God’s divine presence and reflect the true message of the gospel.
