How do we know that salvation is a finished work?

Answered in 2 sources

Salvation is a finished work as proclaimed by Christ on the cross when He said, 'It is finished', indicating that nothing more is required from us.

The assurance that salvation is complete rests on the declaration of Jesus on the cross found in John 19:30. When He proclaimed, 'It is finished', He signified that all the requirements for our salvation were met in His atoning sacrifice. This is a central theme in Reformed theology, where it is taught that believers no longer need to depend on their works or religious efforts; instead, they find their assurance and rest in the sufficiency of Christ’s work. Hebrews 4:3 reinforces this truth by stating that those who have believed do enter into rest, underscoring that our standing before God is secure through faith alone.
