It Is …

It is written. ~ It is I. ~ It is finished!

“It is written” (Matthew 4:4) relates to the knowledge of salvation.
The fact is salvation can be assured today.
Because God can be trusted, salvation provides certainty.

Jesus Christ said that individuals should not live by physical food alone but through the sustenance of spiritual food—the living Word of God. He goes on to say that we should not test the boundaries with God (negative), but choose to worship and serve God (positive).

“It is I” (John 6:20) has to do with the joy of salvation.
Our salvation will be complete in the future.
God manifests His presence to His own which provides enjoyment.

The disciples were afraid and Jesus came to them and told them that since they were His they should not be afraid. The essence of His message was do not fear what life brings to you (negative) but rather trust in Him to see you through life’s difficulties (positive).

“It is finished!” (John 19:30) concerns the way of salvation.
The reality of salvation was accomplished at the Cross in the past.
Since Jesus Christ conquered death, His followers are guaranteed safety.

History is really His-story! The greatest event in human history occurred at the Cross of Calvary. Hundreds of prophecies were fulfilled. Death was defeated. Satan’s final destination was assured. Sinners have their judgment paid in full but only if they accept the free gift of salvation.

Jesus Christ is the only way, the only truth, and is the only source of spiritual life. No one will go to an eternity with God except those who come through the shed blood of His Son, Jesus Christ (John 14:6).
