How do we know that Christ's work of salvation is complete?
Answered in 5 sources
Christ's work of salvation is complete because He declared 'It is finished' upon the cross, signaling the full satisfaction of God's justice (John 19:30).
The assertion that Christ’s work is complete is succinctly encapsulated in His declaration, 'It is finished' (John 19:30). This proclamation signifies that everything required for the salvation of God's people had been accomplished. Through His atoning sacrifice, Jesus fulfilled all the demands of the law and satisfied divine justice on behalf of sinners. The book of Revelation affirms that He is the Lamb who was slain and has redeemed us to God by His blood (Revelation 5:9). Thus, our faith is not an addition to His work but a resting in what He has completed, providing assurance that those whom He saves are secure forever (Hebrews 10:14).
