It Is Finished!

John 19:30 (NKJV)
³⁰ So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. 

Three of the greatest words ever spoken. "It Is Finished." These three words were spoken by Jesus Christ as He hung on the cross giving His life for the sins of man. Very few people can say that they have accomplished all they have set out to do. But Jesus was no ordinary person. Jesus was the perfect and only Son of God who came to earth to save mankind from all the his sins. What did Jesus mean when He said "It is finished?" The battle for the victory over Satan, sin, and the law was finished-accomplished.                                                                                                                                                                                                                  1. The victory over Satan has been accomplished for you.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Colossians 2:15 (NKJV)  Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. Matthew 16:18b I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 

Romans 8:38-39 (NKJ)    ³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, [this means Satan and all his demons] nor things present nor things to come,
³⁹ nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
2. The victory over the law was accomplished for you.   Colossians 2:14 (NKJV)
¹⁴ having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. The penalty for your breaking God's laws has been paid for in full by Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. 
2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) ²¹ For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Isaiah 53:5 (NKJV)
⁵ But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:12 (NKJV)
¹² Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.

3. The victory over sin was accomplished for you. Sin and death no longer has dominion over you. Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2 (NKJV) 

¹ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 
4. The debt for your sin against God was finished-"paid in full"-There is nothing left for you to do.
When Jesus said "it is finished" He meant that all you will ever need for God to forgive you of all your sins past, present, and future has been accomplished because Jesus paid the price in full for your sin because you could not AND YOU CAN NOT NOW MAKE HEAVEN ON YOUR OWN! It is a gift from God through faith in Jesus Christ.                                                                                                                                    Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV) 
⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
⁹ not of works, lest anyone should boast.
 The only payment you could make is to spend an eternity in Hell.

But for all Jesus did to become a reality in your life, you must confess your sins to Jesus. Admit you have fallen short of keeping God's laws according to Romans 3:23. Ask Jesus to forgive you for your sin of breaking God's law-"Ten Commandments." Romans 6:23 says that the wages of our sin is death, eternal separation from God. No one has perfectly kept all of God's laws except Jesus Christ . After you ask Jesus to forgive you, then invite Him into your life to take charge of you. When you do you will receive eternal life. That's a promise of God. Romans 10:9-13 (NKJV) ⁹  If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 
¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
¹¹ For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."
¹² For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. ¹³ For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."  Jesus does not try to "sell" you salvation by your good works.  It is a free gift that is yours for the asking.
Ephesians 2:8-10 (NKJV)
⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the [gift]of God,
⁹ not of works, lest anyone should boast. ¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
After you are saved, you will begin to do good works. You will want to live your life for Jesus out of love for what He has done for you. Go to a church where they preach and teach Jesus as Savior and Lord of all mankind. Be baptized! Worship and praise God from that place. Serve Him, Live for Him because "It is Finished." The debt for your sin has been paid IN FULL BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. Hallelujah!
