Sacraments are outward signs of inward grace, instituted by Christ for our sanctification. They have the three jobs including making people holy, building up the Body of Christ, and giving worship to God. They teach us about our faith and are signs of God's love for His church. There are seven sacraments grouped together by purpose. Sacraments of Initiation bring us into full membership in the Church, Sacraments of Healing restore our relationship with God, and Sacraments of Mission and Service strengthen our vocation from God.
All sacraments have these seven components:
1. Form: words and actions given to us by Christ that do not change
2. Matter: tangible signs that indicate the presence and reality of the sacrament
3. Minister: the person who performs the rite of the sacrament
4. Scriptural foundation: evidence in the New Testament of Jesus' institution of these special signs and causes of Grace
5. Receiver: sacraments have rules for who is eligible or able to receive the sacrament based on their state in life
6. Frequency: sacraments have rules on how frequently it can be received
7. Effect: each sacrament has its own effect on the individual and have been given to the Church for different purposes
