[chette777]

I agree with Forrest it is not about making ourselves worthy or acceptable. Corinth was a very carnal church the description of 1Cor 11 is that of carnal Christians not caring for each other and the one who died for us. the supper is to remember what he has done for us not to feed our flesh. it is to remember his bodily sacrifice for our sins and that we are now part of Him and we are no longer to be living sinfully.

There is nothing wrong to ask, have I been living as if I am part of His Body? How am I treating him since I believed he died for me? Do I care for my brethren in Christ? do I see them as part of His Body? Or do I see them as a benefit to me? do I look down on them? If I do I am looking down on Christ himself. a healthy body check that needs to be judged not for reward or punishment for for correct understanding of what Christ did and who he is everyday.
