The literal translation of sin is miss the mark. I ask you, what is the mark? Some have said that anything short of the Glory of God is sin. If that was true then we would still sin in heaven, which is absurd to even consider. According to Matthew chapter 5, sin begins in the heart. Sin is a willful rebellion against God. You may make mistakes, but to rebel on purpose is to put your own happiness in higher importance than God's. This is impossible for anyone who truly loves God. To become in good standing with God, you must fully accept His instruction as the Authority of your life. To willfully rebel against God is not possible for the onle who truly loves God. Mistakes happen because man has a lack of knowledge, but to rebel against the knowledge you already have is wickedness perfected. It's evil in its ugliest form. The mark is to have a perfect will. Your will must be the same as God's will. Happiness to everyone. This is why Jesus said, "Therefore, you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."
