What does the Lord's Supper signify in Reformed theology?

Answered in 1 source

The Lord's Supper signifies remembrance of Christ's sacrificial death and communion with Him for believers.

In Reformed theology, the Lord's Supper is a significant ordinance instituted by Christ, intended for the remembrance of His sacrifice. It symbolizes the broken body and shed blood of our Savior, as He instructed His disciples to do this in remembrance of Him. The bread and the wine are not merely symbols but are a means of grace through which believers reaffirm their faith in the sufficiency of Christ's atonement. As we partake, we are spiritually nourished and reminded of our identity as heirs of God, acknowledging that our participation in this meal is solely based on faith in Christ. This practice emphasizes the unity of believers with Christ and each other in the body of the church.
