What does the Bible say about salvation being finished?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible teaches that Jesus accomplished full atonement for sin, declaring 'It is finished' to signify the completion of His redemptive work.

In the scriptures, particularly as noted in John 19:30, Jesus' declaration 'It is finished' signifies the completion of His atoning work. This phrase emphasizes that salvation is not a process initiated by our good works but a completed act by Christ on the cross. This aligns with the concept of justification by faith alone, as outlined in Ephesians 2:8-9, where our salvation is described as a gift from God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Moreover, Romans 8:1 assures believers that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. This includes the full payment for all sins—past, present, and future—for those who are among the elect. Christ not only made forgiveness possible but secured it, emphasizing the sovereign grace of God in the redemption plan through the cross.
