"The Circulation of the Blood In order to have good health, we must have good blood; for the blood is the current of life. It repairs waste and nourishes the body. When supplied with the proper food elements and when cleansed and vitalized by contact with pure air, it carries life and vigor to every part of the system. The more perfect the circulation, the better will this work be accomplished. MH 271"
"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."
Both passages directly link blood and life. Leviticus 17:11 states that 'the life of the flesh is in the blood,' while EGW states that 'the blood is the current of life.' While Leviticus focuses on atonement, the fundamental principle of blood being essential for life is shared.
