LolIndeed, there are major differences. Without them there would be no debate.
We aren't born with a desire to please God. Many children don't even know there is a God. This is why the gospel is preached:
Paul is speaking to believers who are capable of giving in to temptation. But sin can be overcome with God's help. He's reminding us that God has more power than we do and God can deliver us from evil --- just as Jesus said in the Lord's Prayer. Without the Spirit of Christ, we don't belong to Him and don't understand the truth. Truth is spiritually discerned.
Romans 6:14
For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Matthew 6:13
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Help is available because:
All praise and glory belong to God!
Magic is nonsense. God's power is real.
