Sacrament (See Communion)
He who receives a sacrament does not perform a good work, he receives a benefit.
Martin Luther.
Sacraments, ordained of Christ, are not only badges or tokens of Christian men’s profession; but rather they are certain signs of grace, and God’s good-will towards us, by the which He doth work invisibly in us, and doth not only quicken, but also strengthen and confirm our faith in Him.
