How does the phrase it is finished relate to the concept of grace?

Answered in 1 source

'It is finished' signifies that salvation is by grace alone and is fully complete in Christ.

'It is finished' embodies the core message of grace in salvation. It signifies that all that is necessary for redemption has been done by Christ, freeing believers from the law's demands and the burden of works. It implies that grace reigns in the believer's life, allowing them to rest in the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice without the need for additional efforts to achieve righteousness. Passages like Romans 10:4 further underline that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness, reinforcing that salvation is a gift received by faith, not achieved through personal merit.
