How do we know that the doctrine of indwelling sin is true?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of indwelling sin is affirmed by the Apostle Paul's struggle with sin as described in Romans 7, demonstrating that even mature Christians contend with their sinful flesh.

Paul's writings in Romans 7 reveal the reality of indwelling sin in even the most mature believers. He candidly shares his frustrations about not doing what he desires to do in accordance with God's law, highlighting that there remains within him a principle of sin that opposes his new nature. This internal struggle affirms that indwelling sin is an ongoing condition for all believers. Paul illustrates that no one is free from this battle until glorification, showcasing the necessity for reliance on God's grace and the work of the Holy Spirit to combat this sin.
