IT IS = FINISHED!=20

By "Rebekah" the Bride

(Jn.19:30; 6:28; 1 Cor.2:12-14; = Rom.5:1,17; 2=20 Cor.5:19,21; Eph.1:6-7; Gal.2:21; Heb.4:10)

There are three words, three special words, that = Jesus spoke=20 one day,
As He was dying on the cross to take our sins away. =
"It is finished!" were the words that from = the cross=20 He cried;
Then after that He bowed His head and on that cross = He died.=20
 
Just those three words, those special words, that = Jesus spoke=20 that day,
They seem to me to be the most important words He'd = say.=20
And so it is imperative for each of us to know =
What "It is finished!" means to us as we = live here=20 below.
 
What "It is finished!" means must be = revealed within=20 the heart.
The natural mind can't understand, God's Spirit must = impart=20
The meaning of those special words so that we'll = really see=20
What Jesus finished on the cross that day at = Calvary.
 
Christ finished ALL the work that day that needed to = be=20 done
To give forgiveness for all sin to each and = everyone.
Yes, everyone who's ever lived, past, = present--future,=20 too,
The work has all been finished now, there's no more = work to=20 do.
 
The work to make God be at peace with each and = everyone,=20
Christ finished there on Calvary, the work has ALL = been done.=20
The war is over, so to speak, God offers peace to = all,
Because all of our punishment, on Christ, God let it = fall.=20
 
Christ finished EVERYTHING that day that needed to = be done=20
To make us all acceptable in Him, God's precious = Son.
Don't work to be acceptable to God because, you see, =
The work was finished on the cross by Christ for you = and me.=20
 
The work to make us righteous before God eternally, =
It has been finished, yes, it has, I hope this truth = we'll=20 see;
So we can rest from trying hard our righteousness to = make,=20
And honor what Christ did for us, what He did for = our sake.=20
 
If Jesus finished all the work to make us right with = God,=20
Then thinking we can add to that is thinking that is = flawed.=20
The finished work can only be a gift we must = receive.=20
The ONLY work we need to do is working to believe. =
 
Yes, just believe that all the work's been finished = at the=20 cross.
Your debt of sin has all been paid, it's Christ who = paid the=20 cost.
Don't let Christ's work, that finished work, be all = in vain=20 for you.
Since "It is finished!" just believe that = what Christ=20 spoke is true.
 
Oh, what a rest believers can be in if they agree =
That Jesus finished all the work for them on = Calvary.
"Cease from your works," the Bible says and in = Christ's work=20 believe.
Yes, "It is finished!"--precious words we = need to=20 just receive.
 
The work so that you can be in a heavenly home = one=20 day
Has all been finished by the Lord, for Jesus is the = way;
And when in heaven you arrive you'll know it's = really=20 true,
That ALL the work to get you there was done by = Christ, not=20 you.
 
"It is finished!" are the words our = precious Savior=20 cried,
As He hung there on that cross and willingly He = died.
The work is done for all of us, was finished there, = I say.=20
"It is finished!, It is = finished!"--thank=20 God every day!
