If a Christian sins, it is against his will. One who is regenerate falls rather than dives into sin; he resists rather than embraces it. Any dead fish can float downstream. It takes a live one to swim against the flow. Christians still experience temptations and can sometimes fall into sin, but they are no longer slaves to sin (Romans 6:6). They have God’s Holy Spirit within them to help them say no to temptation, and to convict their conscience of wrongdoing when they do sin.

We will always be imperfect, and we will always need God's grace through Jesus Christ.

It is a basic Christian belief that all people sin. It's in our nature. Just as Adam and Eve fell, so do we all. I think it is dangerous for a Christian to claim that he is without sin. After all, Jesus asked the people who were going to stone a woman for her sins, "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone." What that means is that none of us are righteous, so think twice before you start rebuking others for their sins.
The immortal bard said it well to - "treat every man according to his desserts, and who shall escape whipping?" That means that if we all got what was coming to us, we'd all be punished.
Another saying that I like to live by is "There but for the grace of God go I." It keeps in perspective the fact that we are not so different from the sinners we see. It's another way of not casting the first stone.

Read Romans 7! O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. I finished with R 8:1

To say christians are without sin is utter Bs. If anyone claims that he does sin the truth is not in him. We sin we are only justified by Christ's death on the cross. Either you believe Christ fully paid for the price of sin or you believe you have to earn salvation. The bible is very clear that we cannot attain salvation, it is a gift from God.
And to the one who does not work but believes in [1] him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, (ROMANS 4:5)

Yes you are right. The Christian will continue to sin - but when he sins his attitude towards sinning is that it sickens him and he feels convicted - so very different than when he was not saved and had an "I don't care" attitude.

Christians sin. No one will ever be able to overcome sin on Earth. But if we believe in Jesus and truly repent, it's forgiven.

Christians sin every day, we all fall short to the glory of God. Every day we strive to be more like God.
