Why is Christ's finished work crucial for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's finished work is essential because it assures believers that their salvation is complete and standardized against His righteousness.

The term 'finished' in John 17:4 illustrates that Christ has completed the work of redemption. This completion is foundational for believers since it confirms there is nothing to add to His redemptive work. His perfect obedience and sacrifice satisfied God's justice, ensuring that believers are fully accepted in Him. Therefore, recognizing that salvation hinges on what Christ has accomplished rather than personal merit leads to humility and gratitude in the life of a believer.
