What does the Bible say about the significance of Jesus saying 'It is finished'?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' declaration 'It is finished' signifies the completion of the work of salvation and fulfillment of God's promises.

When Jesus said 'It is finished' on the cross, He was proclaiming the completion of every requirement for salvation. This statement encapsulates the fulfillment of all Old Testament prophecies, types, and shadows that pointed to Him. The law was perfectly satisfied through His obedience, and all sacrifices were culminated in His one perfect sacrifice. The entirety of redemption was accomplished, ensuring salvation for those chosen by God before time.
