Why do Christians struggle with sin after conversion?
Answered in 1 source
Christians struggle with sin because of the ongoing battle between the flesh and the Spirit.
The sermon candidly addresses the issue of sin in the lives of believers, acknowledging that despite conversion, Christians still face temptations and struggles. It teaches that even the most faithful encounters in Scripture depict individuals wrestling with sin, indicating that this struggle is a common experience for believers. The ongoing battle does not negate their salvation but highlights the reality of living in a fallen world. However, it is through this struggle that God's grace becomes evident, and believers can grow in dependency on Christ, leading to deeper gratitude and joy in Him amidst their weaknesses. They remain thankful for God's grace that sustains and transforms them.
