It Is Finished: The Resurrection as Proof of Our Complete Redemption

The words “It is finished” echoed from the cross with divine finality. In that moment, Jesus declared that His mission was complete—the debt of sin was paid, the curse of death was broken, and the door to eternal life swung wide open. But how do we know this is true? What proof do we have that His sacrifice was enough?

The answer is simple and profound: the resurrection.

The empty tomb is not just a happy ending to a tragic story. It is the divine exclamation point that confirms everything Jesus accomplished on Calvary. Without the resurrection, the cross would be a question mark. With it, the cross becomes a declaration: our sin—past, present, and future—is fully paid.

This book is born out of a deep desire to help believers walk in the full assurance of what Christ has done. Too many Christians still live with lingering guilt, fear of judgment, or uncertainty about their salvation. They accept that Jesus died for their sins—but they struggle to believe that His work was truly enough.

In these pages, we will explore how the resurrection validates and completes the work of the cross. We will see how it confirms our justification, secures our eternal destiny, and empowers us to live free from condemnation. We’ll look not only at theological truths but also at the practical implications: how the risen Christ transforms our identity, our struggles, our purpose, and our daily lives.

This book is not a theological debate. It is an invitation—an invitation to rest in the finished work of Christ and to rejoice in the victory that His resurrection brings. Whether you are a new believer, a seasoned disciple, or someone searching for truth, my prayer is that you will encounter the risen Jesus in a fresh and life-changing way.

Because He lives, everything changes.
Because He rose, it truly is finished.

Let’s begin.
