have heard people say that you can miss heaven by 18 inches.  That is the distance between your head and your heart.  It's not enough for us to know the Truth about Jesus but rather we need to live out those Truth's every day for His Glory!  The judaizers in Galatia were missing the mark by adding to God's requirements for salvation.  We need to lean into God's grace and trust Him with all our heart so we avoid just missing the mark of salvation.
