To me when you are baptized it means your parents are making you a child of God but when you get confirmed you are accepting your baptism and becoming a member of the church. Jesus is a big part of mine and everyone’s life because he died on the cross to save our sins. We pretty much all take advantage of Jesus’s love.

A sacrament can be defined as a ’visible sign of an invisible grace ’ or ’an outward sign of an inward grace ’. Through the visible there is invisible.
