Ask ten believers what spiritual means and you will get atmosphere, feeling, and fervency. Paul wrote twenty-three of the Bible's twenty-six occurrences of the word, and he never once uses it of a feeling.

The blood of Christ is the heart of the gospel Paul preached. This study traces what the blood accomplishes — propitiation, redemption, justification, reconciliation — and shows why Christ could not save by dying just any way. The shed blood and the cross were necessary, foretold in the Scriptures, and proven accepted by the resurrection.
