Sanctification and Sacrament

Purification rites are sacraments mystically depicting the real work of the Spirit. Jesus' baptism served as another kind of sacrament: it depicted the new hielsgeschicta. God tore the heavens rifting time. The mission commenced, Christ would atone for creation, and the Spirit would sanctify creation. Our baptism in water sacramentally depicts the Spirit's whole work of sanctification in us. Our baptism in the Spirit equips us to be participants in His sanctifying work through the use of Charisms.
