How does 'it is finished' relate to God's promises?

Answered in 1 source

'It is finished' relates to God's promises by confirming that all His prophecies and covenants are fulfilled in Christ.

'It is finished' signifies the culmination of God's promises throughout the Scriptures, reaffirming that all the prophecies concerning the Messiah have been fulfilled in Christ's work on the cross. Every ritual and sacrificial system in the Old Testament was a foreshadowing of this ultimate sacrifice. Isaiah's words, for instance, depict the suffering servant bearing our iniquities, which finds its resolution in Christ's declaration. God's immutability assures us that His promises will remain valid because they are anchored in the perfect and finished work of His Son, rendering the assurance of salvation to all who believe.
Scripture References: John 19:30, Isaiah 53:5-6, Jeremiah 50:20
