What are sacraments? How are they different from Means of Grace? How many sacraments are there? How are the sacraments “effectual for salvation?” Are the sacraments necessary for salvation? Do the sacrament still matter today?
On this episode of The Podechesis Podcast, the guys talk about questions 91-93 in John Wesley’s Revision of the Westminster Shorter Catechism that deal with the sacraments in general. They will discuss what makes a sacrament a sacrament, the role or faith in these “outward and visible signs of and inward and spiritual grace,” and why the sacraments still matter significantly in the life of the believer and the church.
