SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:15
Y si sabemos que l nos oye en cualquier cosa que pidamos, tambin sabemos que tenemos las peticiones que le hubiremos pedido.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 John 5:15
Verse 15. And if we know that he hear us] Seeing we are satisfied that he hears the prayer of faith, requesting the things which himself has promised; we know, consequently, that we have the petitions - the answer to the petitions, that we desired of him; for he cannot deny himself; and we may consider them as sure as if we had them; and we shall have them as soon as we plead for and need them. We are not to ask to-day for mercy that we now need, and not receive it till to-morrow, or some future time. God gives it to him who prays, when it is needful.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And if we know that he hear us , &c.] As it may be assured he does hear and answer all such persons that ask according to his will: whatsoever we ask, we know , or are assured, that we have the petitions that we desired of him : for as it is the nature of that holy confidence, which believers have in God, to believe whatever they ask according to his will, in general, shall be grappled, so every request in particular; yea, before the mercy desired, or the favour asked for is conferred, they are as sure of having it in God's own time and way, as if they now had it in hand and fact.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-17 - Upon all this evidence, it is but right that we believe on the name of the Son of God. Believers have eternal life in the covenant of the gospel. Then let us thankfully receive the record of Scripture. Alway abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labour is not in vain in the Lord. The Lord Christ invites us to come to him in all circumstances, with our supplications and requests, notwithstanding the sin that besets us. Our prayers must always be offered in submission to the will of God. In some things they are speedily answered; in other they are granted in the best manner, though not as requested. We ough to pray for others, as well as for ourselves. There are sins that wa against spiritual life in the soul, and the life above. We cannot pra that the sins of the impenitent and unbelieving should, while they ar such, be forgiven them; or that mercy, which supposes the forgivenes of sins, should be granted to them, while they wilfully continue such But we may pray for their repentance, for their being enriched with faith in Christ, and thereupon for all other saving mercies. We shoul pray for others, as well as for ourselves, beseeching the Lord to pardon and recover the fallen, as well as to relieve the tempted an afflicted. And let us be truly thankful that no sin, of which any on truly repents, is unto death.
