Means of Grace

The specific, physical ways God delivers grace to people: the preached and written Word, Holy Baptism, and Holy Communion. Lutherans hold that God chooses to work through these ordinary, tangible things rather than only through private inner experience.

In Sacraments — Baptism, the Lord's Supper, confession, and the language around them.
