I use Salvation (Salvific) as an adjective very sparingly. In my mind, it only refers to 2 events in the Bible. One was in the Old Testament, the other in the New. In the Old Testament, it is recorded in the book of it's name, The Exodus, when God led His people with His strong arm and His mighty hand out of Egypt. (Exodus 13:9) After 400 years of slavery, He stepped in and delivered His people. The kings, psalmists and prophets continually reminded the people of God's mighty hand of salvation. In the New Testament its the cross. When Christ declared "it is finished" (John 19:30) the payment for our sins was made. Paul would later recall: “And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:” (Romans 1:4 KJV) The Exodus in the Old Testament and the death, burial and resurrection of Christ in the New Testament stand as true declarations of Salvific Events! Praise God! var refTagger = { settings: { bibleVersion: "ESV" } }; (function(d, t) { var g = d.createElement(t), s = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0]; g.src = '//api.reftagger.com/v2/RefTagger.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g, s); }(document, 'script'));
