which means ―missing the mark or ―to do wrong. It describes the distance between where an arrow lands and
the bull‘s eye of the intended target.
Notice how it is used in the
following Bible passage.
Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God,”
Romans 3:23 describes Sin as falling
―short of the glory of God. Sin is Man‘s failure to live up to the perfect standard of God. We have
all broken God‘s perfect moral law, either in action or in thought. Even our
failure to do what we know is right is sin! So there is no one innocent or
perfect among us!
