What does it mean that salvation is finished according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation being finished means that Christ completed the work necessary for redemption, and there is nothing else needed for our salvation.

When Jesus said, 'It is finished' (John 19:30), He affirmed that His sacrificial death fully accomplished the work of salvation. This encompasses salvation from the penalty of sin, which is eternal separation from God, and from the power of sin, providing believers with a new nature. Romans 5:1 tells us that we are justified by faith, granting peace with God, indicating that our standing before Him is complete through Christ’s atoning work. Therefore, in Reformed theology, the finished work of Christ signifies that faith in Him alone is sufficient for salvation; no further works are required from us.
