How does the Lord's Supper relate to the concept of covenant in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Lord's Supper signifies the New Covenant established by Christ, representing His blood shed for the remission of sins.

The Lord's Supper serves as a visible sign of the New Covenant, as described in 1 Corinthians 11:25 where Jesus states, 'This cup is the New Testament in My blood.' The New Covenant differs from the Old Covenant, which was based on adherence to the law. Instead, it is established through the sacrificial death of Christ, fulfilling the requirements of the law on behalf of believers. This covenant guarantees the forgiveness of sins and eternal life to all who believe. By participating in the Lord's Supper, Christians publicly affirm their faith in Christ and the grace of the covenant, remembering His sacrifice and the promises it entails.
