There is just so little teaching on this topic found in the Body of Christ, and its so very important.

The issue isn't sin, if you are born again.
The issue is SIN CONSCIOUSNESS that isn't being dealt with, correctly.
"as a man thinketh (in his heart) so IS HE".
"heart" is mind, its where you exist inside yourself....Its your THINKER.
What are you thinking about right now, reader?
What do you think of yourself, at any given time, reader?
That is WHO YOU ARE and who you are becoming.
If you see yourself as God sees you, then you become as God sees you.
Understand?
Do that, at all times..
"so as you think, you will become"... "what you think about, you will do".
As you see yourself, inwardly, is who you are, to yourself.
See yourself only as God sees you, never as some mistake you made or some unfortunate behavior would try to define you.
So, if you think about sinning, then guess what.....= you will sin again. (works of the flesh).
Paul teaches that the Law could not do 2 things...
1. It can't give righteousness, even if you keep it. Paul kept it, said he was "blameless in the Law", and yet, he was not RIGHTEOUS.
2. The Law can't remove the consciousness of sin.
So, when you think about sinning, you will sin. (works of the flesh)
If you dont think about sinning, = you dont sin. (works of the flesh)
So, its not about being in the flesh, or striving against sin.
Its about NOT THINKING ABOUT IT, because its not in your head anymore.
Paul teaches that had the old covenant been able by the sacrifice of animals been able to remove SIN CONSCIOUSNESS< then we would be free from sinning, as you dont sin, when you dont think about it.
Hebrews 10
Paul then teaches... The one time Eternal BLOOD Sacrifice of Jesus, does remove sin consciousness...and that is another glorious thing about God's Grace.
See, if God saved you and didnt give you the means to have power over sin, then what is the point?
Salvation is not just your ticket to ride into heaven, its also your deliverance from carnal behavior, sustained.
So then..>"why do Christians keep doing wrong stuff"....its because to have the effect of Grace as the removal of your sin consciousness, you have to have a NEW MIND.
This new mind is provided by being born again.
Obviously a "new creation" has a new mind as well as a born again divinely quickened Spirit.
Its known as "the mind of Christ".
So, THAT MIND, has no sin consciousness.
See it?
And you have to exist in that mind, and when you do, you are "walking in the Spirit", and then Paul teaches that "when you walk in the Spirit, you will not sin".."will not commit works of the Flesh"..
It works like this...
If you walk in the Spirit, you will be aware of Sin, and sinning.
But you wont be controlled by the desire.
This is why Paul teaches you. "use not your liberty for an occasion to the Flesh".
So, RIGHT BELIEVING...... is to understand that Jesus has your sin, and you have God's Righteousness.
There is no sin in Christ. There is no sin in God's Righteousness, and you the born again ARE MADE RIGHTEOUS.
So, the "sinning issue" is not exactly about sin if you are born again. Its about the wrong mind that has sin Consciousness.
Get out of that mind, by Right Believing, and you will find that the sinning and repenting issue, is GONE.
You will find that bondage to this past habit of sinning and confessing sin, is GONE.
Right Believing breaks bondage, and frees you.
Wrong believing, causes bondage, and controls you.
The Grace of God.....Is not just to get you into heaven, but its to get you out of the old sinful carnal MIND that you were trapped in before you were born again.
God gives you a NEW MIND, that you are to 'renew". In other words, when you keep it fully in control = it keeps you becoming fully perfected as a disciple.
In the right mind, the right believing, you have no sin consciousness.....no guilt, no condemnation, you just have PEACE with God and a sense of deep wellness.
And when you are in the old man mind, the carnal mind, you are walking in the flesh and your mind is consumed with worry, odd thoughts, sinful thoughts, anxiety, = wrong believing.
There is just so little teaching on this topic found in the Body of Christ, and its so very important.
