It involves the idea of granting freedom within certain boundaries, often reflecting God's sovereign will and human responsibility.<br><br><b>Biblical Instances and Themes</b><br><br>1. <b>Divine Permission</b> <br> God's permission is evident throughout Scripture, where He allows certain events or actions to occur, even if they are not His perfect will. This is often seen in the context of human free will and the presence of sin in the world. For example, in the account of Job, God permits Satan to test Job's faith, but with specific limitations: "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'" (<a href="/job/1-12.htm">Job 1:12</a>). This illustrates God's control over the extent of what is permitted.<br><br>2. <b>Human Authority and Permission</b> <br>The Bible also addresses the concept of permission in the context of human authority. <a href="/romans/13.htm">Romans 13:1-2</a> states, "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God." Here, permission is linked to the idea of submission to governmental authorities, recognizing their God-given role in maintaining order and justice.<br><br>3. <b>Moral and Ethical Boundaries</b> <br>While God grants permission for certain actions, He also sets moral and ethical boundaries. The Apostle Paul addresses this in <a href="/1_corinthians/10-23.htm">1 Corinthians 10:23</a> : "Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible, but not everything is edifying." This highlights the responsibility of believers to discern and choose actions that align with God's will and edify the body of Christ.<br><br>4. <b>Permission in the Context of Marriage and Relationships</b> <br>In <a href="/bsb/1_corinthians/7.htm">1 Corinthians 7</a>, Paul discusses permission in the context of marriage, addressing issues of marital rights and responsibilities. He writes, "The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband" (<a href="/1_corinthians/7-3.htm">1 Corinthians 7:3</a>). Here, permission is tied to mutual consent and respect within the marriage covenant.<br><br>5. <b>Permission and the Great Commission</b> <br>The Great Commission, found in <a href="/matthew/28-18.htm">Matthew 28:18-20</a>, involves Jesus granting permission and authority to His disciples to spread the Gospel: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..." . This divine permission underscores the mission of the Church to evangelize and teach in Jesus' name.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The concept of permission in the Bible underscores the balance between God's sovereignty and human responsibility. It reflects the tension between divine control and human freedom, illustrating how God works through human actions to accomplish His purposes. Permission also emphasizes the importance of discernment and obedience in the life of a believer, as they navigate the complexities of moral and ethical decisions within the framework of God's will.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>n.</I>) The act of permitting or allowing; formal consent; authorization; leave; license or liberty granted.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4774.htm"><span class="l">4774. suggnome -- confession, fellow feeling</span></a> <br><b>...</b> fellow feeling.
