ACC ~ 1 John 3 v22

BECAUSE WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. GREGORY THE GREAT: It must be understood that if we are to get what we ask for from God we have to obey his commands. The two things go indissolubly together. LESSONS IN JOB 28.9.

LISTEN TO THE DIVINE PROMISE. BEDE: This is a great promise to believers, and one which is highly desirable. For if someone is so stupid and absurd that he does not rejoice in the heavenly promises, he ought to listen to what wisdom says: “If one turns away from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.”ON 1 JOHN.

WHATEVER WE ASK. THEOPHYLACT: If we obey God’s commands, then our obedience will bear fruit, for we shall receive whatever we ask for. COMMENTARY ON 1 JOHN.
