The Bible teaches that believers are freeborn in Christ, liberated from sin and the law through His blood and righteousness.
In Acts 22, Paul identifies himself as a freeborn Roman citizen, highlighting the significance of his birth and citizenship. This concept parallels the spiritual state of believers who are freeborn in Christ. They have been liberated from the bondage of sin and the condemnation of the law because of Christ's redemptive work. Through the Holy Spirit's regenerating power, believers experience true freedom, no longer bound by their former sins but embracing life in Christ, who fulfills the law and sets them free to worship God.
