The Old Testament paradigm for the activity of the kinsman-redeemer is the work of God himself. The Old Testament teaches that God is a redeemer
(ḡō’ēl) to his people. One might argue that the entire story of the Old Testament is a cycle of redemption.
This is seen through writing of the Old Testament prophets who prophesied that a final redemption would occur, one that will never have to be repeated. This redemption would be accomplished by a divine redeemer
(ḡō’ēl), who would bring an eternal deliverance for the people of God (Isaiah 59:15–21).
The New Testament teaches that this divine redeemer
(ḡō’ēl) is Jesus Christ. Jesus fulfils the role of a redeemer
(ḡō’ēl) in two ways. First, he releases his kin from bondage. However, it is not a physical bondage to another human, but bondage to sin and iniquity (Titus 2:13–14; Ephesians 1:7). Second, he has secured an eternal inheritance for his people, one that is imperishable and will never fade away (1 Peter 1:3–4).
