There are plenty of people who are blessed and no longer sin. Being born again means there is no longer a bad spirit that compels us to sin. That is a fact!

Here's a better fact...

1Jn 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

The fact is, we all still sin but the sin is not laid to our account...

You are actually very misinformaned and so is most of the church. THat is because the church has lost it’s way and lost the power of the holy spirit. If you would like that strength again, like you had as a child..go to fhu.com where the Be Still exercise will put you on the path to true freedom from sin. What you have done, unwittingly . is neutered the power of Jesus. Once the bad spirit is cleanesed, and it takes some time often, then there simply is no more will to sin because it was ITS will to sin the whole time!
a. Whoever abides in Him does not sin: Since sin is lawlessness, a disregard for God (1 John 3:4), and since Jesus came to take away our sins (1 John 3:5), and since in Jesus there is no sin (1 John 3:5), then to abide in Him means to not sin.
