How does the concept of the means of grace relate to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The means of grace point us to the necessity of Christ for our salvation.

The means of grace, such as the sacraments and the preaching of the Word, are intended to direct believers toward reliance on Christ for salvation. These practices are valuable but can become superstition if treated as the source of salvation instead of indicators of faith in Jesus. For instance, baptism and the Lord's Supper symbolize the work of Christ, illustrating that while they are significant, it is Christ alone who accomplishes our redemption. True belief recognizes that these means facilitate our faith rather than transport it.
