Bible Question: Does God hear (heed) the prayer of a sinner, i.e., of an unsaved person? Please give a Scriptural basis for your response. |
Bible Answer: Proverbs 15:29 implies that God chooses not to hear the prayers of the unsaved, or more correctly, those who are not regenerated/born again (coming from the Calvinist perspective). Those whose spirits are made new and now have the eyes to see the things of God (cf. Romans 8:6-8) will have their prayers for salvation heard and answered in the affirmative. |
