NASB | 1 John 5:15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 5:15 And if we know [for a fact, as indeed we do] that He hears and listens to us in whatever we ask, we [also] know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted to us] the requests which we have asked from Him. |
Bible Question:
Dear saints in the Lord, Does this verse mean that God will give us whatever we want? Is this the 'prosperity Gospel?' In Jesus' name, charis |
Bible Answer: Charis ... we first need to back up to verse 13, which limits this to those who believe, do have eternal life. Even if you start in verse 14, which says we need to ask according to His will, He hears us. So when our asking (vs 15) is according to His will (vs 14), we know He hears us (vv 14-15) and we will be granted our request (vs 15). Many use this verse for the "prosperity Gospel" ... but, we do need to have our wills and wishes match His. Contentment plus Godliness equals Great Gain Steve |
