#Signs, seals, and covenant meaning

The sacraments are treated here as signs and seals of the covenant of grace, not as empty symbols or magical rites ¹.

#Word, Spirit, and distinction

The subarticles keep the relation between Word, Spirit, and sacramental efficacy visible, then separate baptism from the Lord's Supper without breaking their unity.
