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

Answered in 1 source

'It is finished' signifies the completion of Christ's redemptive work, confirmed by His resurrection, which assures believers of their justification.

'It is finished' marks the culmination of Christ's atoning work on the cross. When Jesus declared this, He completed all that was necessary for the salvation of His people. The resurrection serves as the divine stamp of approval from God that His sacrifice was fully satisfactory. According to Romans 4:25, Christ was raised for our justification, thus confirming that through His death and resurrection, believers are cleared of guilt and reconciled to God. This declaration reveals the completeness of salvation and offers believers assurance of their position in Christ.
