You will often hear that "Sin" is missing the mark. This is true but what you don't hear often is a clear biblical view of what missing the mark means.

So what does it mean to miss the mark, what is the mark. Bible please.
"Missing the mark" is a nice way of saying "Acting selfishly" or "Disobeying the Lord's commandments.”

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 1 John 5:3 RSV
