What does the Bible say about Christians and sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that those born of God do not commit sin, as God's seed remains in them.

According to 1 John 3:9, those who are born of God do not commit sin because God's seed abides within them. While believers may struggle with sin in their earthly existence, they possess a new nature created in righteousness and holiness. This new birth leads them to hate sin and strive for holiness, highlighting the ongoing battle between the old and new natures within them. The Apostle Paul echoes this in Romans 7, where he discusses the internal conflict of wanting to do good but often failing. Therefore, true believers may still wrestle with sin, but their desire to pursue righteousness reflects their transformation in Christ.
