How do we know the work of redemption is finished?
Answered in 1 source
John 19:30 states 'It is finished,' confirming that Christ completed all necessary work for our salvation on the cross.
We recognize the finality of redemption through Christ's proclamation on the cross, 'It is finished' (John 19:30). This declaration signifies that all the requirements for salvation were fulfilled in His sacrificial death. It is critical to understand that the work of Christ affects all whom the Father has chosen for salvation, thereby securing their redemption effectively. This assures us that there is nothing required from us to complete our salvation; it is fully accomplished through Christ's atoning sacrifice. Additionally, the efficacy of His work assures us that it is non-conditional on our responses or actions.
