What does it mean to eat the body and drink the blood of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Eating the body and drinking the blood of Christ symbolizes an intimate communion with Him and acceptance of His sacrificial death for our sins.

To eat the body and drink the blood of Christ, as expressed in John 6:53-54, signifies partaking in the life-giving sacrifice of Jesus. It embodies a deep spiritual truth that requires faith to understand. In partaking of the bread and the wine during the Lord's Supper, believers are not only commemorating Christ's death, but also affirming their union with Him in His atoning work. This act symbolizes the acceptance of His sacrifice for sin, and it is through this faith-filled participation that they receive eternal life. Thus, it is a profound means of grace through which believers recognize their dependence on Christ for both spiritual sustenance and salvation.
