Why do Christians still struggle with sin if they are saved?

Answered in 2 sources

Christians may struggle with sin due to the ongoing influence of the flesh, even though they are spiritually renewed.

Despite being justified and having received God's grace, Christians continue to face the challenge of sin in their lives. This struggle can be attributed to the ongoing presence of sin, often referred to as the 'flesh,' which influences their thoughts and actions. Romans 6 discusses the concept of being dead to sin, indicating that while believers are spiritually renewed, they are not free from temptation and the battle against sin. This inner conflict is described in Galatians 5, where the Spirit and the flesh are said to be in opposition. However, the Christian's struggle serves as a reminder of their need for continual reliance on God's grace and the importance of pursuing holiness.
