And because of this He is the negotiator of a new Covenant, in order that, since a life has been given in atonement for the offences committed under the first Covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance which has been promised to them. For where there is a legal 'will,' there must also be a death brought forward in evidence--the death of him who made it. And a will is only of force in the case of a deceased person, being never of any avail so long as he who made it lives. Accordingly we find that the first Covenant was not inaugurated without blood.
