For we are daily reminded and encouraged that we are to learn and conclude that His will toward us is only from God's Word, through which He works with us and calls us. We should believe and not doubt what it affirms to us and promises. For this reason Christ causes the promise of the Gospel not only to be offered in general, but He also seals it through the Sacraments. He attaches them like seals of the promise, and by them He confirms the Gospel to every believer in particular.
~BOC, FSD, XI, 36-37
