Where's the line betwixt the two and how can we be sure we're saved?

|A Comparison: Who would be most concerned? |

someone who believes in for every sin

for a Christian battling furiously with one or two or more particular sins, how would he feel about a Christian living with little concern for sin?

Matt.24:24 People who would mislead, if it were possible, even the elect.
It is impossible to direct the belief of God's elect to anything other than the truth.

1 Pet.1:23 We are of seed
Supporting Scripture: How do we KNOW we ARE saved?
1 John 3:9 We (who are the seed of God) are incapable of sinning.
How do we explain the which so easily us?
How does the Christian explain the verses which compel him to the sin which so easily us?

Conclusion
Our lives are driven in the same way by our desires. If our desire of greed is stronger than our desire of contentment, we are driven to be creatures of discontent , unhappiness, and envy. If our desire for success is stronger than our desire for fairness, we are driven to be creatures of lying, cheating, and lust. If our desire for self-satisfaction is stronger than our desire for giving, we are driven to be creatures of selfishness, hate and murder.
This is man in his carnal state. Unholy, undesiring of God or anything of God. Yet this same God who we struggled so hard to avoid, fists flying in defiance, is the very God who stretched out His arms of acceptance and love. This is the basis of our salvation. Once His love takes hold of our lives, our directional wind changes. No longer are we driven by our own selfish desires, no longer are we concerned about ourselves first, no longer are we driven with winds of the world but winds of God. Our direction changes. Our attitudes change. Our lives are different because He does not simply renovate, He makes all things new.
