15:7 Does this mean that whatever Christians ask in prayer it will be done for them?

15:7 Does this mean that whatever Christians ask in prayer it will be done for them?

Yes, conditional upon them abiding, or remaining in Christ, and His word abiding in them.

That means that believers must live in strict conformity to God's word - totally consecrated to the service of God and completely yielded to the authority of Jesus (CP Mt 7:21-27; 12:46-50; Ro 2:13; Jas 1:22-25 with Jn 8:31-32; 14:15, 21; 15:10, 14; 1Cor 7:19; 1Jn 2:3-6, 24; 5:2-3).

There is not one promise of God in scripture that is no to a believer who abides in Christ and in whom His word abides (CP 2Cor 1:19-20). Those who abide in Christ and in whom His word abides bear much fruit to God's glory (CP Jn 15:8, 16; 1Jn 5:14-15).

God is glorified in the answered prayers of fruitful Christians (see also comments on Mt 21:17-22; Mk 16:17-18; Jn 14:12-14; 2Cor 1:19-20; 1Jn 5:14-15 and author's studies Confessing God's Word in his book Foundational Truths of the Christian Faith, Signs and Wonders in God's Redemption Plan in his book Advanced Studies in the Christian Faith (Volume 1),

The Work of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament Church and Making the Impossible Possible in his book Advanced Studies in the Christian Faith (Volume 2)).
