What does it mean to repent from sin? To turn away from sin? To make a decision to stop sinning? Is repentance necessary for salvation? Would repentance be a form of works in order to get saved?

So it is possible for a Christian to sin? I am not looking for justification for sinning, but rather an explanation for why it still occurs.

I offered no thoughts because I don't know the answer to the question. What does "old things have passed away" refer to if other verses discuss a Christian's sin? My goal is merely understanding so that I can work out things in my own life. Your suspicious assessment of my motives is...

Where does I John 1:5-10 fall in relation to this?

So as Paul, in Romans 7, writes of his Sinful Nature, this was well after that nature was removed, on or at about the time of his Damascus Road experience. So are you saying that Romans 7 was written by Paul to describe his life before salvation?

How do you reconcile these two passages? One says the old things have passed away, and the other says that sin still lives within.
