What does 'it is finished' mean in Christianity?

Answered in 2 sources

'It is finished' signifies that Jesus has completed the work of salvation, fulfilling all that was required for redemption and reconciliation.

'It is finished' is one of the most profound declarations in the Christian faith, marking the culmination of Jesus' suffering and sacrifice on the cross. This phrase indicates not only the completion of His earthly mission but also the full satisfaction of divine justice, as all sin must be paid for. The implications of this truth assure believers that their salvation is secure and that nothing can be added to Christ's perfect work. It encapsulates the entirety of God’s redemptive plan, affirming that through His death, sin has been fully dealt with, and believers stand righteous in the eyes of God.
