What does 'finished' mean in relation to Christ's work on the cross?

Answered in 1 source

'Finished' indicates that Christ completed the necessary work for our salvation through His sacrificial death.

'It is finished' signifies the completion of Christ's redemptive work, meaning that He brought to an end the requirements for atonement and fulfilled all prophetic and covenantal promises. This term, as used in John 19:30, reflects a rich meaning: it conveys fulfillment, perfection, and totality. His work included the expiation of sin, reconciliation with God, and the offering of eternal life. This comprehensive completion assures believers that nothing is lacking in their salvation and upholds the core principles of sovereign grace — that salvation is entirely the work of God from beginning to end, and is not dependent on human efforts.
