Is sin "missing the mark"?

Something I should have added to the video is that "miss the mark" would be αστοχεω (verb) or αστοχος/ια (noun). Look it up in a Greek dictionary and see. Unfortunately, YouTube videos can't be edited.

Also see

• Are we "sinners" or "saints"?
• What is "original sin" and the "sin nature" according to the scriptures?
• James 5:16 - confess sins to be healed?
• 1 John 1:9 analysis (If you confess sins, then you will be forgiven?)
• 1 John 5:16-17 - "sin that leads to death"

I actually haven't written a distinct article for this yet.
