ACC ~ 1 John 5 v14

THE CONFIDENCE WE HAVE IN HIM. DIDYMUS THE BLIND: Those who possess technical skills and know how to repair things are fully confident that when the need arises they will be able to do so. Similarly these holy men, John and the other apostles, knew from their own experience that if they asked God for what was pleasing and acceptable to him, they would obtain it. For God is most generous to those who have this knowledge and will grant the requests of those who ask according to his will. COMMENTARY ON 1 JOHN.

IF WE ASK IN THE RIGHT WAY. BEDE: John holds out to us the great assurance that we can expect to receive heavenly blessings from the Lord and that whatever we ask for here on earth will be given to us as long as we ask for it in the right way. This is in full agreement with what Jesus said in the Gospels: “I say to you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you receive it and you will.” ON 1 JOHN.
