Warning: This is an offensive lesson. John says we cannot be born again Christians and continue living in habitual sin. This message is offensive because there is a strong flavor of cultural Christianity in our communities where Jesus is great, but we don't conform our lives to Him. Unfortunately there is also a false theology regarding grace that makes self-acclaimed Christians believe that since they are saved by grace, their sin doesn't matter anymore.
But, like Solomon says, "nothing is new under the sun". Paul struggled with this same mindset in the early churches: What shall we say then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? (Romans 6:1-2) True born again disciples of Jesus indeed cannot continue living lifestyles of sin. this does not mean that they are sinless, but simply that they sin less.
