We, as believers, will not find a place to rest from the fight against the enemy, our flesh, and sin, until the day we are glorified. That doesn't mean we can't win battles, in fact we should. But we should be aware that just because we've won a battle, doesn't mean the war is over. Our flesh, and the enemy, will always be seeking new ways to tempt, and attack us.

It is a fight, which we must continue, but we CAN be overcomers by the blood of the Lamb, by the Word of God, and by the Spirit of God to recognize the attacks against us.

Yes, Jesus is part of the equation, because when He was in the flesh He was just like us, all the things that you're are saying that we go through, is the exact same thing that Jesus had to deal with, and even worse because He was tempted with everything that the human family deals with.

And those of us that has His spirit are able to live like He did, walk like He walked, the Bible says that He's able to keep us from falling, and present us faultless before Him. If we are faultless does that not mean that we are blameless, that we are perfect?

According to you, then no one will be in heaven and everyone will be condemned to hell, since God commanded us to be holy and perfect and without blame before Him, and again according to you, it is not possible for us to obey God in this, and we're condemned for something that we can't possibly obey.
