How do we know that believers still struggle with sin?

Answered in 1 source

Believers struggle with sin because the old man remains, causing an internal conflict with their new nature.

The presence of the old nature in believers is a testament to the doctrine of total depravity. In the sermon, it is emphasized that this old nature does not improve and continually leads us to sin, highlighting the struggle every believer faces. Paul articulates this in Romans 7, where he expresses the internal war between wanting to do good and being drawn to sin. This struggle demonstrates our reliance on God's grace and mercy, as without them, we would be lost.
