What is the significance of the phrase 'It is finished' in relation to Christ's sacrifice?

Answered in 1 source

The phrase 'It is finished' signifies the completion of Christ's work of redemption, establishing the sufficiency of His sacrifice.

'It is finished' is a profound declaration uttered by Jesus at the moment of His death, indicating that He has fully accomplished the work necessary for salvation. This phrase encapsulates the Christian belief that every requirement of God’s law has been satisfied through His sacrificial death. Hebrews 10:12 contrasts this with the repeated sacrifices of the Old Covenant, emphasizing that Christ's singular offering has perfected forever those who are sanctified. Thus, the sufficiency of His sacrifice maintains that no further atonement is needed, affirming the doctrine of eternal security for believers.
