PSA on sacraments

Baptism and the Lord's supper are not "works" they are a God ordained means of grace.

When received by faith, they nourish and strengthen believers and serve as signs and seals of the covenant. While they do not save in themselves, they visibly distinguish the people of God and confirm faith in those who truly believe.

Oh and BTW God does indeed love you for who you are but he loves you too much to keep you the same.
