If there is no way any of us can resist the Holy Spirit, then how do you explain this passage?

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. - 1 John 1:8-10

= = = =

Indeed. And, Resist the enemy and he will flee is similar. If humans have no capacity to CHOOSE to resist HOLY SPIRIT &/or satan. . . then such Scriptures about resisting must be supreme . . . passing gas, flinging hot air randomly?!
