Why do some consider the Lord's table as a means of grace?

Answered in 1 source

Some believe the Lord's table to be a means of grace because they see it as a spiritual nourishment for believers, although it is not salvific.

The perspective that the Lord's table functions as a means of grace is rooted in the belief that it actively reinforces the faith of believers. While it doesn't convey saving grace itself, as it does not operate as a sacrament with inherent saving power, it serves to strengthen believers' assurance and remembrance of Christ’s finished work. The table acts as a reminder of the covenant we have in Christ, calling believers to reflect on their reliance on His sacrifice. Through this remembrance, believers may experience a renewed sense of grace and connection to the body of Christ, wrestling with the implications of their faith and sin in light of His sacrifice.
