And the wonderful thing is, Romans 8:1 says this.

Romans 8:1-8 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

So in spite of that struggle and our propensity to sin, THERE IS THEREFORE ***NO*** CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS!

We sin and are NOT condemned.

Amen. But this does not give us a license to sin:

Romans 6:15-18

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?

But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed,

and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
