Why is the concept of 'It is finished' significant in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

'It is finished' represents the completion of Christ's sacrificial work, ensuring that all aspects of redemption were accomplished for all who believe.

The phrase 'It is finished' holds deep theological significance for Christians as it encapsulates the entirety of Christ's redemptive work on the cross. It signifies that every demand of the law has been met and that the sacrificial system established in the Old Testament is complete. This moment marks a definitive transition in God's dealings with humanity, whereby access to God is no longer restricted and the way to salvation is open for all who believe. Furthermore, it assures believers of their complete acceptance in Christ, as their sins have been atoned for, reflecting God's justice and grace in perfect harmony. The impact of this declaration should lead believers to a life of faith and reliance on Christ's finished work.
