sacrifices were instituted. The shed ding of blood was the means at that point of covering man's sin. We know that salt is a preserv ative and is used in the Old Testa ment to refer to the lasting char acter of the agreement which is made. It is not to be a temporary condition. We are not certain what the questioner means by bread and water covenants. There was an understanding in the Near East that when a visitor came into the household they were to be ex tended not only courtesy but also proper protection from any enemy. The covenants of the Old Testa ment came to an end when Christ died. These agreements were made with Israel as a part of the law. (The Abrahamic covenant con tinues). But Jeremiah 31:31 and following actually tells the most prominent covenant is that of blood. Hebrews 9:22 reminds us, "Without shedding of blood is no remission." This means that there is no forgiveness or cleansing from sin apart from blood. Christ was the fulfillment to which all the sac rifices looked forward. Q. Lapeer, Mich. "There is a teach ing that states that the blood of lesus Christ on the cross has no relation to our atonement and that it only has a spiritual reference. How would you answer such dec larations1" A. It is unfortunate to hear of those who say that the blood is not what counts but that it simply repre sents spiritual death. They attempt to divide between spiritual and physical death which must not be done. God told Adam that if he disobeyed His word he would die.
