In the context of <a href="/romans/6.htm">Romans 6</a>, Paul is discussing the believer's identification with Christ's death and resurrection. This spiritual death signifies a break from the power of sin. In the cultural context of the Roman audience, death was seen as a definitive end, symbolizing a complete separation from one's previous life. This concept is echoed in <a href="/galatians/2-20.htm">Galatians 2:20</a>, where Paul states, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me."<p><b>has been freed from sin</b><br>The Greek term used here for "freed" can also be translated as "justified." This indicates not only liberation from the power of sin but also a legal declaration of righteousness. In the historical context of Roman law, a person who died was no longer subject to legal obligations or penalties, symbolizing the believer's release from the dominion of sin. This freedom is not merely a future hope but a present reality for those in Christ, as seen in <a href="/john/8-36.htm">John 8:36</a>, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
