What is the meaning of 'It is finished' in the context of redemption?

Answered in 1 source

'It is finished' means that Christ completed the necessary work for sin's atonement and redemption for His people.

'It is finished' is a profound statement emphasizing the completion of redemption through Christ's sacrifice. It indicates that all the requirements for atonement have been fulfilled, and nothing else is needed for salvation. This also affirms the doctrine of justification, whereby the believer is declared righteous before God solely through faith in the finished work of Christ. His righteousness is applied to believers, who are now free from the condemnation of sin, highlighted by the seamless character of Christ's righteousness compared to the flawed works of man.
