What was finished when jesus said it is finished

In His death and resurrection , Jesus defeated death in principle, and with His decisive victory over death, He is now triumphant over death and the grave.

Even so, physical and spiritual death abounds, which is why the people of God groan until the Lord liberates creation from its bondage to decay Romans The will of God for Jesus was fully accomplished in His perfect obedience to the Father John ; Dave Jenkins is happily married to Sarah Jenkins.

Our redemption and all that that means is the central theme of the Bible. Sign our Guestbook. Print with formating Print plain text. Satan's dominion and hold over man The separation of Jew and Gentile There will be other things that I have missed but I hope this helps. How do I know I truly believe? Unbelievers are spiritually 'dead' and cannot believe the gospel or make any moves towards God. Is Faith enough? Are good deeds required for Heaven? Should faith and works be separated in salvation?

Is 'The Heaven Test' presumptuous and judgmental? Is imputed righteousness a lie? Is it overcoming sin that saves us? Is Salvation only in the Mass? Or even in the Mass? What did mean when He said 'It is Finished' in John ? Do Paul and James contradict each other about faith? Can someone have their spirit saved but not their soul? Do you agree with a partial rapture? Why do you not agree with Soul Salvation? What if our works aren't enough? Lives are still being changed today, by the One who saved us from a debt we could never fully pay.

They mean that Christ has overcome. He has won the victory, and that through Him, we, too, are more than conquerors. If you find yourself in a hard place today, take courage, my friends. Only in Christ is true peace to be found. He reminded us in His word that in this life, we would have troubles, but we can find courage because He has overcome the world John In spite of the struggles we may face in this life, we never walk alone, for He is with us.

He will never abandon us in our trials or leave us to work it all out on our own. Jesus never called us to embrace the world and all it offers. But He calls us to take up our own cross, and to follow Him, to be salt and light, and to walk in love.

And He has plans for you, for me, to make a difference in these days, in the life of another soul, for His purposes. Praying that His huge grace, wisdom, and strength cover us today. And that, in Him, we will find freedom from worry as we let go of the stress that clings too tightly, the pressing needs of tomorrow, and struggles we battle today, so that we can fully embrace His gift of forgiveness and love.

By his wounds you have been healed. No one comes to the Father except through me. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Debbie McDaniel is a writer, pastor's wife, mom to three amazing kids and a lot of pets.
