Definition
The Finished Work of Christ refers to the belief that the life, death, resurrection, and promised return of Christ accomplished all that was required to reconcile humanity to God within the biblical framework.
Context
Within the Yeshuan Model, this phrase carries historical implications. It assumes that apostolic prophecy concerning judgment, the end of the age, and the coming of Christ reached fulfillment in first century events. If this is so, then salvation is not an ongoing process awaiting completion but a completed covenantal transition.
The term does not imply that human moral development is complete. It refers to the completion of the redemptive narrative described in scripture. Reconciliation is established. Law as covenantal authority is concluded.
Implications
If the work is finished, faith no longer functions as a means of securing salvation or avoiding punishment. It functions as lived participation in an accomplished reality. Fear-based religion loses its structural foundation.
The Finished Work shifts emphasis from institutional mediation to personal response.
Common Misunderstanding
The phrase is often used in evangelical contexts to describe individual assurance of salvation. In the Yeshuan framework, it refers more broadly to the completion of the biblical age itself.
