What is the significance of 'It is finished' in relation to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

'It is finished' signifies the complete and perfect accomplishment of Jesus' redemptive work on the cross.

'It is finished' (John 19:30) encapsulates the declaration of Christ's work in providing salvation for His people. Unlike human endeavors that may leave room for uncertainty, this phrase indicates that Jesus fully accomplished His mission to atone for sin. This is vital for understanding that our salvation is not based on our efforts but entirely on the sufficiency of Christ’s work. Believing this gives us confidence that our sins are fully paid for and that we are securely reconciled to God, a cornerstone of historic Reformed theology.
