What does the Bible say about the struggle with sin in Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that Christians experience an ongoing struggle with sin due to the conflict between their new nature and the remaining sinful flesh.

In Romans 7:14-25, the Apostle Paul gives a candid account of his internal battle with sin. He describes how, although he desires to follow God's law, he often finds himself doing the very things he hates. This internal conflict is a hallmark of the Christian experience, indicating that Christians are not exempt from sin but are engaged in a lifelong struggle against it. The existence of this battle confirms the believer's transformation, as non-believers do not experience such conflict regarding sin. The new nature granted by Christ's work sets believers apart and ignites their desire for holiness.
