Why is it significant that Jesus said 'It is finished'?

Answered in 1 source

'It is finished' confirms that all requirements for salvation have been met by Christ, eliminating the need for further sacrifices.

'It is finished' carries immense significance in Christian theology, marking the completion of the redemptive process. This declaration indicates that Jesus fully accomplished God's plan for salvation and that His sacrificial death satisfied the wrath of God against sin. It emphasizes that nothing can be added to what Christ has done; His blood is sufficient for the redemption of His people. With this statement, we find assurance in our justification and standing before God—nothing remains for us to prove or achieve.
