Jenney,
I think the key word here is "struggle". Does your sin bother you? Do you constantly struggle with it? Take a look at Romans 7 and I think you will know why I think this is one sure sign that you are saved and are making progress in these areas as God sanctifies you. Personally, I think you are in good company with the Apostle Paul.
I agree. The longer I live the more I'm convinced that, in some ways, the Christian is defined by "The Struggle" against sin. Someone who is not regenerate is not going to even give it a thought for the most part. Oh they may have some thoughts of fear regarding punnishment and whatnot but they will not truly struggle with sin itself. It's like a saying I heard once,"Everyone wants to be free from Hell. Not everyone wants to be free from their sin."
