How do we know that Christ's work on the cross was finished?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's declaration 'It is finished' affirms that He completed the work of salvation by satisfying God's justice through His sacrifice.

The certainty that Christ's work on the cross was finished is firmly rooted in His words articulated in John 19:30, 'It is finished.' This proclamation signifies the completion of the work He was sent to accomplish: the atonement for sin, which encompasses the fulfillment of all prophecies and the establishment of a new covenant. Throughout His life, Christ was committed to doing the will of the Father, culminating in His sacrificial death. The reconciliation He achieved is encapsulated in the entirety of His ministry, where He glorified God on earth and finished the work laid before Him, demonstrating God's divine plan for salvation that cannot be altered or added to. Understanding this assures believers that there is no additional work required for redemption; Christ has accomplished it all.
