To: Salvation; Soothesayer9
Luke 12:59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

And Jesus paid that price in full for all time. We stand before Elohim (Judge) free and clear of all stain or guilt.

John 19:30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished," and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

"finished" = tetelestai

http://concordances.org/greek/5055.htm

Cognate: 5055 teléō (from 5056 /télos, "consummation, completion") – properly, to complete (consummate), i.e. finish (qualitatively) the necessary process – with the results "rolling-over" to the next level (phase) of consummation. See 5056 (telos).

[This root (tel-) means "reaching the end (aim)." It is well-illustrated with the old pirate's telescope, unfolding (extending out) one stage at a time to function at full-strength (capacity effectiveness).]

Word Origin: from telos

Definition: to bring to an end, complete, fulfill

NASB Word Usage:

accomplished (3), carried (1), carry (1), completed (3), finish (1), finished (11), fulfilled (2), fulfilling (1), keeps (1), pay (2), perfected (1), performed (1).

finish, accomplish

From telos; to end, i.e. Complete, execute, conclude, discharge (a debt) -- accomplish, make an end, expire, fill up, finish, go over, pay, perform.

see GREEK telos
