What is the significance of Christ saying 'It is finished'?

Answered in 3 sources

'It is finished' signifies that Christ accomplished the full measure of salvation for the elect through His death.

'It is finished,' as proclaimed by Christ during His crucifixion, marks the completion of the mission given to Him by the Father. This statement conveys the profound truth that all that was necessary for the salvation of God's elect has been accomplished. No further sacrifices are required, as Hebrews 10:14 affirms that by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. The declaration signifies the finality and sufficiency of His atoning work, ensuring that believers are fully reconciled with God.
