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

Answered in 2 sources

Christ’s declaration 'It is finished' signifies the complete and perfect work of salvation for humanity.

When Jesus uttered 'It is finished' from the cross, He declared the completion of His mission to secure salvation for His people. This phrase encapsulates the fulfillment of all Old Testament prophecies and the entirety of redemptive history. The sermon stresses that no human effort is needed to add to what Christ has accomplished; salvation is entirely by grace. This finality is central to sovereign grace theology, as it upholds that Christ’s atoning work alone satisfies divine justice, making it impossible for any works to contribute to our salvation.
