Communion cannot bestow grace on anyone; only God can do this. Grace is God’s favor. It is something that He gives, and nothing that we can earn in and of ourselves (Eph. 2:8). God has given us His only begotten Son Jesus Christ who is full of grace and truth (Jn. 1:14). To receive Him as savior is the Bible way to receive grace (Jn. 1:12).
“So... why is Communion important?”
1. Remembrance - it reminds the church of the Lord’s atonement or sacrifice. The bread symbolizes His body and the cup symbolizes His blood (I Cor. 11:24-25).
2. Examination - Before participating, each believer is instructed to examine his life to ensure that he is right with God and the church (I Cor. 11:28; 31).
