Why is the concept of 'It is finished' important for Christians?

Answered in 19 sources

'It is finished' emphasizes that salvation is fully accomplished in Christ, meaning believers can have assurance of eternal life without the burden of works.

'It is finished' is central to the Christian faith as it encapsulates the entirety of Christ's sacrificial work on behalf of sinners. This phrase ensures that redemption is not a process but a completed act, allowing believers to approach God with confidence, as stated in Hebrews 10:19. Because the law is fulfilled in Christ, Christians are liberated from the need to perform works for salvation, enabling freedom in their relationship with God. This understanding fosters a life of gratitude and obedience borne out of love rather than obligation, leading to true worship and service. Consequently, it reassures believers that their salvation is not contingent upon their efforts but entirely rests on Christ’s perfect obedience and sacrifice.
