Well there's a difference between habitual sin and infrequent sinning if I can say it that way and I'm very well aware of what the word of God has to say about putting off the old man and putting on the new man in Ephesians 4:22-24 as well as the engrafted word which is able to save or deliver our soul because the part of us that will continually sin to some degree is the soul James 1:21 and not the regenerated spirit until the believer does something about his soul which is all part of mind renewal also found in Romans 12:2. And from what I've seen over the years most believers don't grow spiritually therefore they remain stagnant or even backslide which is where the habitual sinning comes into play. I myself still sin after 31 years of being gloriously born again but I no longer sin like I used to before I was born again not even close to it thank God because I never went back to my vomit and everything God freed and delivered me from I never went back to it like smoking, drinking, fornicating, self-gratification, coarse language just to name a few. And the more I give my soul over to the process of sanctification which carries the word holy from the Greek word hagios the more my soul will line up with what I already am in spirit which is the part of me that is a new creation in Christ and that is what God is looking for in his church which is greatly lacking at this time. Shalom
