You most certainly don't have to sin! Christ most certainly did condemn sin in the flesh and we are dead to the Law we can't keep.
Sin most certainly will not have dominion over you if you walk in the Spirit surrendering yourself to the will of the Holy Spirit.
But here is the fact of fallen man: The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
We can't measure up to the position God has placed us in, that's why it's called Grace!
By our faith in Christ, God has promised to bring us to that level at the resurrection.

Here this is for you...John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
I believe that the Lord Jesus had set me free from sin.
Here is my testimony,
1Co 4:3, But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
1Co 4:4, For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

In fact preach Paul to them as much as you can for that is what I want you to do anyway.
Tell them they are all free from sin even though they live in sin.
But you better not take their sin phone from one of their children.

@peachyking, you simply need to repent of your sins.
Here you go...do this experiment...
The next time you see one of your children
just reach over there and take their cell phone from them
and tell them they cannot have it back.
Watch what happens
then report back to us what occurred in your presence.

But if we did, we would have brought them up in the training and admonition of the Lord; and the response would not be negative.
Your bad witness can deter a person from coming to know Christ; and the lord will hold you responsible for that on your day of judgment if your sins are not covered by the blood.
look at the lives of your brethren and their children.
It is because no one rebukes them for their sins.
They are told they are free from sin when they are walking in sin.
But that is the will God, so I think it is wonderful.

and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
Rebuking sinners for their sin is good and righteous, Look around you
look at the lives of your brethren and their children.

Rebuking people for their sins is an art in which you need tact to be able to pull it off properly.
Telling people that they have sinned is well and good but if you do not preach a remedy, what good is it?
What makes you think that the person you are rebuking has not received the remedy?
Are you Omniscient? Do you have clairvoyance, or a crystal ball? That would be sorcery and a grievous sin before the Lord.
How do you go about rebuking people? Do you specify their sins?
How do you know what their sins are if that is the case?
