The Sacraments - WSC #91-93

"The sacraments become effectual means of salvation, not from any virtue in them, or in him that doth administer them; but only by the blessing of Christ, and the working of his Spirit in them that by faith receive them." "A sacrament is an holy ordinance instituted by Christ; wherein, by sensible signs, Christ, and the benefits of the new covenant, are represented, sealed, and applied to believers." "The sacraments of the New Testament are baptism and the Lord's supper." (Westminster Shorter Catechism)
