What does the Bible say about habitual sin?

1 John 3:9 declares, 'Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin.' This statement emphasizes the transformation that occurs in those who are born of God. It is important to understand that this does not mean that believers will never sin; rather, the text highlights a distinction between the nature of the old Adamic man who embodies sin and the new man born of God who cannot sin. This inability to sin is rooted in the divine nature he possesses, which is perfectly righteous and cannot miss the mark inherent in sin. The habitual nature of sin refers to an acquired behavior pattern, prevalent in those still bound by their Adamic nature, but does not characterize the regenerated believer, who operates under a new disposition created in Christ.
