The term can be understood as God's sovereign decision to allow certain things to happen, even if they are not His perfect will, in order to fulfill His ultimate purposes.<br><br><b>Divine Permission</b><br><br>The idea of divine permission is evident throughout Scripture, where God allows certain events to occur, even those that involve human sin or suffering, to bring about His greater plan. For instance, in the account of Job, God permits Satan to test Job's faith, but within certain boundaries. <a href="/job/1-12.htm">Job 1:12</a> states, "The LORD said to Satan, 'Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.'"<br><br>Similarly, in the New Testament, Jesus speaks of divine permission in the context of His crucifixion. In <a href="/john/19-11.htm">John 19:11</a> , Jesus tells Pilate, "You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin." Here, Jesus acknowledges that Pilate's authority to crucify Him is permitted by God as part of the divine plan for salvation.<br><br><b>Human Authority and Permission</b><br><br>The Bible also addresses the concept of human authority and the permission granted to individuals in positions of power. <a href="/romans/13.htm">Romans 13:1</a> instructs, "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God." This passage suggests that human authorities are permitted by God to maintain order and justice, and believers are called to respect and submit to them, as long as such submission does not conflict with God's commands.<br><br><b>Free Will and Moral Responsibility</b><br><br>The concept of permission is closely tied to the biblical understanding of free will. God permits humans to make choices, including those that lead to sin, but holds them accountable for their actions. In <a href="/deuteronomy/30-19.htm">Deuteronomy 30:19</a> , God presents the Israelites with a choice, saying, "I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, so that you and your descendants may live."<br><br>This passage highlights the responsibility that comes with the freedom to choose. While God permits individuals to exercise their free will, He desires that they choose obedience and life.<br><br><b>Permissible Actions and Christian Liberty</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul addresses the issue of permissible actions within the context of Christian liberty. In <a href="/1_corinthians/10-23.htm">1 Corinthians 10:23</a> , Paul writes, "Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible, but not everything is edifying." Here, Paul acknowledges that while believers have freedom in Christ, they should exercise discernment and consider the impact of their actions on themselves and others.<br><br>This teaching encourages believers to seek what is beneficial and edifying, rather than merely permissible, aligning their actions with God's will and the edification of the body of Christ.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The concept of "permit" in the Bible encompasses divine permission, human authority, free will, and Christian liberty. It reflects the complex interplay between God's sovereignty and human responsibility, urging believers to align their choices with God's purposes and the well-being of others.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
