Why is the statement 'It is finished' important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's declaration 'It is finished' signifies the completed work of redemption and the end of the sacrificial system, as mentioned in John 19:30.

'It is finished,' as recorded in John 19:30, represents the completion of Christ's mission to redeem humanity. This powerful proclamation indicates that all prophecies concerning His suffering and atonement have been fulfilled. The work that He was sent to accomplish - bearing the sins of the world and purchasing righteousness for His people - is entirely finished. This assertion signifies that no further sacrifices are necessary; Christ's death was the ultimate sacrifice, which reassures believers of their standing before God and emphasizes the sufficiency of His grace for eternal life.
