'Let God' undermines the sovereignty of God by suggesting He requires human permission to act.
'Let God' is a phrase often used in modern evangelical circles, but it poses significant problems from a Reformed perspective. Such wording implies that God, the Almighty Creator, is dependent on human consent to intervene or save. This notion diminishes His sovereignty and portrays Him as a passive deity waiting for human action. In reality, the scripture asserts that God acts according to His own will (Daniel 4:35, Isaiah 46:10). Understanding that God's sovereignty means He does not require our permission or invitation to save or act is vital for a proper view of His majesty and power. True faith acknowledges His authority and ability to save without the 'let' or 'permission' from humanity.
