Answered in 1 source

Christ's declaration 'It is finished' signifies the completion of the work of salvation and the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose.

The phrase 'It is finished,' uttered by Christ on the cross, carries profound significance for Christians as it encapsulates the entire gospel message. This declaration signifies the culmination of the Father's purpose and the completion of all that was required for our salvation. Christ fulfilled the law and satisfied divine justice, allowing for reconciliation between God and man. In declaring 'It is finished,' Jesus affirmed that all that was needed for the complete salvation of the elect had been accomplished, securing our justification and sanctification. This moment is the foundation upon which believers stand firm in their faith and assurance of salvation.
