Why is it significant that Jesus finished the work given to Him?

Answered in 1 source

The completion of Christ's work signifies the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan and assures believers of salvation.

In John 17:4, Jesus proclaims, 'I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do.' This declaration is pivotal as it indicates that He has completed the mission entrusted to Him by the Father, which includes declaring God's righteousness, taking away our sins, and destroying the works of the devil (1 John 3:5). By finishing this work, Jesus secures the salvation of His people, thereby fulfilling divine justice and mercy. This assurance means that believers can have confidence in their eternal security because their redemption is complete and unshakeable in Christ's finished work.
