It Is Finished

“It Is Finished” is a congregational worship song centered on the finished work of Christ in accomplishing redemption for His people. Through rich theological language, it traces humanity’s condemnation under God’s holy law, Christ’s substitutionary sacrifice on the cross, and the believer’s justification by grace alone through faith alone. The song repeatedly points worshipers away from their own merit and toward the sufficiency of Christ’s atoning work, culminating in a doxological response that gives all glory to the Triune God.

Theological Emphasis

This song is a clear expression of the doctrines of substitutionary atonement, justification by faith alone, and salvation by grace alone through Christ alone.

It highlights:

• The holiness and justice of God (“Holy God your law is just and true”)
• Human guilt and condemnation under God’s law (“We stood condemned by righteous decree”)
• Penal substitutionary atonement (“The price of sin on the Holy One”)
• Christ’s finished work on the cross (“It is finished full and complete”)
• Justification by faith alone (“We stand by faith in Jesus’ Name”)
• Imputed righteousness (“His righteousness is counted ours”)
• Salvation by grace alone, not human works (“No work of ours no righteous claim”)
• Trinitarian worship (“All glory to the Triune God”)
