What does the Bible say about sin and the believer?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that believers, though justified, continue to struggle with sin in this life.

The apostle John acknowledges that believers are still under the influence of sin, despite being sanctified by the blood of Christ. In 1 John 1:8-10, he states that if we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves. This implies that believers must confront sin—not excuse it—recognizing that it remains a part of our fallen nature while striving for holiness. The call for believers is to engage in a continuous battle against sin while resting in the assurance of Christ's intercession and forgiveness.
