You don't exactly utilize them, you receive them as gracious gifts from the Almighty - if you receive them worthily. For instance St. Paul points out that receiving the Most Holy Eucharist unworthily is eating your own condemnation. To put it in one sentence, the effects of worthily receiving the sacraments is eternal life in heaven with God, the effect of not receiving the sacraments (or receiving them in an unworthy manner) is eternal torment in hell.
