People who are born again hate sin and love holiness. It is their nature not to sin. Law only forces the flesh to comply without a change of heart.
Where do you find this assertion of yours that I put in bold type in Scripture? I'd really like to see the texts that say this.
Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
What is written in the heart and placed in the mind in the new Covenant?
2Corinthians 3:1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
What is written in the heart that was previously written on tables of stone?
1John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Are you saying that you no longer sin? That all your thoughts and conduct are in harmony with the law of God?
So what is it that reminds us that we are sinful human beings? The law of God for it is the transgression of that law which is sin.
