We know Christ is our Redeemer because Scripture testifies that He fulfilled the role of Kinsman Redeemer, being both able and willing to save us.
Scripture clearly identifies Christ as our Redeemer, with references throughout the Old and New Testaments demonstrating His ability and willingness to save. In Leviticus, God outlines the role of kinsman redeemers, which Christ fulfills by becoming one of us, sharing in our humanity (Hebrews 2:14). Moreover, just as Boaz redeemed Ruth out of love and grace, Christ willingly laid down His life to procure our redemption (John 10:18). His resurrection further validates His authority, assuring us that He is indeed able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him (Hebrews 7:25). Thus, our confidence in Christ as our Redeemer is firmly grounded in divine revelation.
