So buckle up and get your bibles out and Let's get to the bottom of that.

Romans 7:14-20
14 For we know that the law is spiritual—but I am unspiritual, sold into slavery to sin.[⁠a⁠] 15 For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I do not do what I want—instead, I do what I hate.[⁠b⁠] 16 But if I do what I don’t want, I agree that the law is good.[⁠c⁠] 17 But now it is no longer me doing it, but sin that lives in me. 18 For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it.[⁠d⁠] 19 For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want! 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.
Paul is saying if you are going to try and live for God by the flesh, with your own ability and power, you can't do it. Why? Because your sinful nature has programmed how you think and act. Even though you can affect it to a degree with behavior modification and other methods you are never going to totally master the flesh. That's the reason you'll get a new glorified body in heaven. It will come with a new soulish mental emotional part. (Rom 8:23, 1 Cor 13:12, 2 Cor 5:2-4)
You are never going to attain perfection in this life. No good thing dwells in your flesh (Rom 7:18) so it's always going to fall short to some degree. However Jesus Christ is in your born-again spirit (Gal 2:20) and He is a good thing, Jesus is now your righteousness. 1 Cor 1:30 says that He "is made unto you wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.
The Christian life isn't just difficult: it's impossible. It's only through the Spirit of God that you can do all things (Phil 4:13)
You have to renew your mind to who you are in the spirit. As a born-again believer, you no longer have a nature to sin however, there is a law that's working against your new nature. It's called the law of sin and it always fights against you.
The law of the spirit of life has made you free from the law of sin and death. If you're born again, you are not compelled to sin anymore if you're still struggling, it's because you have not renewed your mind to the new you on the inside.
