In John 19:30, what does Christ mean by "It is finished"? I read that the Greek word means "paid in full", as opposed to potentially

It means that God's redemptive work in time has been accomplished, completed, finished. That God, through Divine Economy, made our salvation possible.

I have already told you more than once, FK, that God's work is finished and that He does not wait for us to make decisions to fulfill His plan.

FK: "In John 19:30, what does Christ mean by "It is finished"? I read that the Greek word means "paid in full", as opposed to potentially."

It means that God's redemptive work in time has been accomplished, completed, finished. That God, through Divine Economy, made our salvation possible.

So, if after God's redemptive work is fully accomplished and fully completed and fully finished, all we all get is a SHOT at salvation, what did people have before His work was finished? Obviously, people in the OT were saved, so they, too, had a shot. What changed, if anything, after Jesus said "It is finished"? You seem to be saying that Jesus really didn't finish anything at all, Jesus only handed the baton over to man and said "you finish it".
