Actually if you read it more carefully it says, "No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God." 1John 3:9
Again "because he has been born of God." is the explanation as to why such a person does not continue to sin.
I agree. No one is saved who is not born again of the Spirit. But we still have our free will, and even though it would now be against our new nature, it is still possible to willfully sin; otherwise Paul would not have written Hebrews 10:26-39. Note there the person has been sanctified. They have received the Holy Spirit. No one without the Spirit belongs to Christ. Romans 8:9
