Ro 6:
Strong's Greek: 1344. δικαιόω (dikaioó) — 39 Occurrences
BDAG:
② to render a favorable verdict, vindicate
ⓐ as activity of humans justify, vindicate, treat as just
β. of God be found in the right, be free of charges
G1344 was a legal term. It was a verb. It did not say we are free [adjective] from sin.
Smith's Literal Translation:
1P 2:
1C 15:
Ro 8:
Are we not completely free from sin?
No, I am not completely free from sin, but rather, Jesus has set me free from the slavery bondage to sin.
Are we still at risk of going to hell?
As long as I am growing in the spirit (sanctification), I am not at risk of going to hell.
What does being free from sin mean in this context? Is it referring to forgiveness for sins?
Yes, partly, but more precisely we have been freed (verb) from sin.
Do people before Jesus’s time not get that same privilege?
Right. The Israelites had to offer animal sacrifices.
Would they go to hell for not believing in Christianity even though it hadn't formed yet?
No, click this.
Being freed from sin means liberation from sin’s power, guilt, and eternal consequences through faith in Jesus Christ. It is a transformative experience that enables believers to live a new life of righteousness, holiness, and service to God. While believers may still struggle with sin, they are no longer enslaved to it and have the Holy Spirit’s power to overcome it.
Verb - Perfect Indicative Middle or Passive - 3rd Person Singular6 We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died has been set free from sin."
