Words of Comfort: Falling vs. Diving

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 (see 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.
