Freedom:
The law of Moses pointed out the cases in which the servants of the Hebrews were to receive their freedom (Exd 21:2-4,7,8; Lev 25:39-42,47-55; Deu 15:12-18). Under the Roman law the “freeman” (ingenuus) was one born free; the “freedman” (libertinus) was a manumitted slave, and had not equal rights with the freeman (Act 22:28; Act 16:37-39; 21:39; 22:25; 25:11,12).

Obviously there is a vast difference between biblical and worldly definitions.

However if you are caught, tried and found guilty, you can be punished for breaking the law. At least that is how most legal systems should work. There is an inherent delusion that others don’t have the right to judge sinners.
The bible definition is applicable to a defined class of individuals. Under Hebrew law a poor person could sell himself into servitude with limits. The Roman application defined a Roman born citizen to be a free person. In their view only Romans had rights.
In the biblical view we discover the power of God is the only way to break the power of sin that makes no distinction in class citizenship and everyone is subject to judgment.
1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Hebrews 2:14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
If one does not believe in God then they do not believe in the devil and without the law sin doesn’t exist and they will not see the chains that hold them captive. It is a sin attitude.
Isaiah 22:13 and behold, joy and gladness, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
