The word 'let" is a very important one in the Bible. We need to find out just what is meant by this short term and how it affects our lives and our eternity. It is unique to humans, it is a GIFT from Almighty God and we will answer for what we do with it. It is connected directly to our freedom to choose, and why our souls, in light of this, are not only in our hands but OUR-- no one else's-- responsibility.
