Cause and Effect
1 Corinthians 11:27 (KJV)
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
The Negative-
Cause and Effect to Communion-
Eat this bread and Drink this Cup “Unworthily”
Meaning: to do so in spite of The Lord’s Significance in Preparation and Qualification!
Your Definitions Do Not Count-
Only God’s…
How You (Feel) Has No Significance…
Cain was the first offender of all time- He brought what he felt was good-
Not what God Desired…
And the results of
*Cause and Effect were Cataclysmic!
In Communion it’s about our accommodating Him!
Not visa versa-
Remembering His Death and His Return-
This Is Paramount!
Unworthily: just means that you qualify by your judgment not God’s!
Feeling Doesn’t Really Count, But Being Obedient to God’s Plan Does Count-
Nobody Ever Really “Feels” Worthy…
On Judgement Day
You May Not Feel Worthy!
But If Your Life Passes the Bible Test, You Will Be Allowed Entrance to Eternal Life!
Taking Communion is Much the Same!
If You Don’t Take It You Disrespect His Most Sacred Invitation-
If You Do Take It You Must Qualify…
