Guys were a all born in sin. Sin is a state first and an action after. It is this state that requires grace because there is nothing we can do to fix it except accept Jesus...God actually deals with the condition of man, this is why a are called a new creation. But then we now empowered to live as Christ did. The power that raised Christ from the dead now lives in us. This is no simple Power. Therefore we have everything we need to dominate sin. Does it mean we do it perfectly all the time? No. When we are found in error we repent before God and move on. He who endures to the end shall be saved. God bless

(Eze 18:1) The word of the LORD came to me: "What do you mean by repeating this proverb concerning the land of Israel, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge'? As I live, declares the Lord GOD, this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel. Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: it is the soul who sins that shall die.
(Eze 18:20) It is the soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
Exd 32.31-33 So Moses returned to the LORD and said, "Alas, this people has sinned a great sin. They have made for themselves gods of gold.

But the LORD said to Moses, "The person who has sinned against me, I will blot out of my book.

The Bible describes infants are pure and holy:
Why would Jesus use infants as a model for all believers to imitate in character if they were "utterly indisposed, disabled, and made opposite to all good, and wholly inclined to all evil"?
Mat 18:1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
