"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." John 19:30
"It is finished". These were the last words of Jesus at the cross before He died. What was finished? Everything that had to be accomplished in order for us to be redeemed from our sins. Every price that had to be paid. Every prophecy that had to be fulfilled. It was finished. It was completed. There was nothing else left to do and nothing was left undone. Jesus did not start the work of redeeming mankind and stop before it was finished. He didn't take care of a part of it and will finish the rest later. He did what He came to do and He did all of it. He drank every last dreg of the cup that was given to Him.
"It is finished". He finished the work of providing and purchasing the gift of eternal that could now be made available to us. But He also "finished" providing everything that we need in order to have abundant life. He has given us everything that we need to live a victorious life over sin, self and the enemy. He has provided it all- it is finished, there is nothing left that we need. He has given us His Spirit, His word, battle attire and weapons that are powerful enough to pull down strongholds, access to Him for help in time of trouble, His peace and every good and perfect gift.
Everything that we need in order to have eternal life was provided. Everything that we needed to be able to live out that life while we are still here on earth was provided. He took care of it all- from beginning to end, and everything in between.
There is nothing else that is needed in order for you to be saved- Jesus paid the price for your salvation in full. There is nothing else that you need in order to live a victorious life- Jesus paid the full price for that as well. So use the provisions that He has given you and walk in abundant life.
Have a great day. It is finished--- all of it!
