Scripture affirms that God indeed saves His anointed as a demonstration of His grace and power, particularly seen in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The assertion that God saves His anointed is deeply rooted in covenant theology and the redemptive work of Christ. In Psalm 20:6-7, the psalmist expresses confidence that the Lord will hear and save His anointed. This is ultimately fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ, who is the anointed one chosen by God for salvation. When Christ was forsaken on the cross, this was part of divine purpose to demonstrate God’s justice while ultimately leading to His resurrection. The resurrection substantiates that He is indeed the Savior and reveals God’s commitment to those He has chosen. Furthermore, Romans 8:31-33 reassures believers that if God is for us, who can be against us? It is in the work of Christ that we see the assurance of salvation extended to all God's anointed ones.
