Why is Christ called the kinsman redeemer?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is referred to as the kinsman redeemer because He redeems His people from spiritual poverty and slavery through His sacrificial death.

The concept of Christ as the kinsman redeemer is rooted in the Old Testament laws concerning family and inheritance. Just as Boaz redeemed Ruth and cared for Naomi, Christ came to redeem His elect from the bondage of sin and spiritual death. This is an essential part of the gospel where Jesus is depicted as the surety of the covenant, fulfilling the role that was required for redemption. Through His perfect life and sacrificial death, He pays the price for our sins, restoring us to the family of God and granting us eternal life. This portrayal emphasizes God's grace and ensures that our salvation is not based on our merits but solely on Christ's redemptive work.
