You are one seriously deceived person and not handling the scriptures rightly.
All people have sin, and the more you grow closer to Jesus, the more sin is revealed in you and the more humble you become and the more Grace you cry for. People who think they have no sin are (as the verse you misquote) deceived and the truth is not them.
Jesus taught the disciples to pray daily in the "Lord's Prayer" for bread, and to to forgive our sins as we forgive others.
The apostles also noted their weaknesses and groaned over their sin.
You think you have no sin??? Deceived.
The only ones who are deceived are those who believe the doctrines of demons over the power of Jesus to free us from willful sins of lawlessness as He claimed in John 8:32-36 and 1 John 3. Those are what has been called "mortal" sins, as 1 John 5:17-18 and Numbers 15:22-36 which also shows the two types of sins, showing "mortal" sins against God's laws as sins unto death. Unfortunately, in this last church age of Laodecia that do not believe they need anything more so have grown apathetic towards holiness, that is most of the Church, leaving only a remnant from the true Church of Philadelphia that still believes in holiness. Believe the doctrines of demons that say "we will always sin" if you want, but for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord and be just like Him - sinless. Romans 8:29-30
You are talking only about the "venial" sins called trespasses that are not sins unto death. But even those can be overcome through the maturing of the fruit of the Spirit. Those who do not grow to maturity in the fruit of the Spirit and do not follow the steps to perfection in 2 Peter 1:5-7 don't even acknowledge that Jesus took away their past sins as you are doing now. But those who are born again never stop growing for what the Spirit started, He will finish.
2 Peter 1:2-11
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
All the apostles taught that Jesus makes us dead to sin, free from sin, takes away our sin, and without holiness no man shall see God; all due to being born again of the Spirit. It is up to us to purify ourselves if you want to go to heaven and not to fall back into sin. 1 John 3:3; 1 John 5:18; Revelation 22:11
Demons teach we will always sin, and God no longer holds willful sins against us. Demons don't care if you believe in Jesus, just as long as you don't become like Him. Matthew 7:21-23
You need to do some serious praying for the truth, because the truth will set you free. John 8:32-36
