What does the Bible say about our struggle with sin?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible describes a believer's ongoing struggle with sin due to the conflict between the old sin nature and the new nature in Christ (Romans 7:15-25).

The struggle with sin is a reality every believer faces as described in Romans 7:15-25. Paul articulates the tension between wanting to do good and the sinful flesh that opposes that desire. He acknowledges that the law is spiritual and good, but that he is a fleshly man sold under sin. This indicates that while believers are justified and regenerate, they still battle the remnants of their sinful nature. The law reveals sin, but it is not the source of sanctification; only Christ can deliver the believer from this body of death and grant true righteousness.
