Anyone who is born again is hyper sensitive to their own sin. They cannot bear the thought of hurting anyone. A born again believer will eventually confess to be cleansed, because they hate their sin and they hate harming others. We are so sensitive to sin that we are even empathetic toward those who have hurt us. We let go but continue to hope for the repentance of those who harm us.
1 John 3:8-10 "…8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil can be distinguished: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother."
Those who have no conscience over their sin, even enjoying it, defending it and refusing to listen to those who point it out, cannot be born again. They need to repent and confess what they are while trusting in Christ for their salvation.
No one who refuses to confess their sinfulness can be born again.
