I have asked God for many years what does this mean?
1 Corinthians 11:29b, “eating and drinking judgement to himself if he does not judge the body rightly.”
God dropped the meaning into my soul, it is the righteousness that Jesus purchased for us.
When we think of ourselves with a sin nature then we are connected to the curse (sickness and poverty). This is what Jesus came to set us free from. But when we grow in sanctification we walk in the Blessing, (healing and Goodness of God overtake you) found in Deuteronomy 28, Jesus died to fulfilled the Law so we are able to receive righteousness.
In the Lutheran Church we confessed each week that “we are in bondage to sin and cannot free ourselves.” It took 20 years for The Word of God to grow in my soul teaching me to stop confessing that I am in bondage to sin! God says in Romans 6:6 our old self was crucified with Christ, that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
I quit confessing that I am a sinner because I know I am a saint who has been set free from sin and death and raised to righteousness by the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ and Lord of my life.
Isaiah 53:5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him and by His scourging we are healed!
1 Peter 2:24 He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness, for by His wounds we were healed.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit and life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death!
