What does it mean to be saved by God's right hand?

Answered in 1 source

Being saved by God's right hand signifies the powerful and sovereign salvation brought by Jesus Christ.

In Psalm 138:7, David proclaims, 'Thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.' The 'right hand' of God symbolizes strength, power, and authority. When we speak of salvation through God's right hand, we are referring to the redemptive work of Christ, who accomplished salvation through His death and resurrection. This demonstrates that God's saving acts are not arbitrary but are executed with intentionality and might. In Christ, God extends His hand of mercy to rescue us from sin and the consequences it brings. This encapsulates the sovereign grace of God, ensuring that His chosen people will be saved and empowered to live a life of victory over their spiritual enemies.
