Salvation is complete in Christ because He said it is finished, indicating that our freedom and justification are fully accomplished.
The assurance of our complete salvation is rooted in the declaration made by Jesus on the cross, 'It is finished' (John 19:30). This statement underscores that everything necessary for our salvation has been accomplished through Christ's sacrifice. As noted in Colossians 2:10, 'You are complete in Christ,' affirming that nothing can be added to the sufficiency of His grace. Our justification rests solely on Christ's work, not on our efforts. Thus, once we accept this truth, we find peace in knowing our standing before God is secure.
