Children of Light (1/26/2025)
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him (1 John 3:21-22).
This confidence produces faith that whatever we ask will be given to us, and by this faith, we say, "(we) receive from him anything we ask." The condition required for this is that "we obey his commandments and do what pleases him." His commandments are summarized as the following command:
And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us (v. 23).
The third rule for us, the children of light, to win the battle against darkness is to act by loving one another. Without this, we would be liars, still walking in darkness and unable to receive the blessings of being children of light. John also says in the same letter:
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us (5:14).
Considering the context of loving each other, it makes more sense to interpret "according to his will" as an adverbial phrase modifying "we ask" rather than the noun "anything," as the following translation suggests:
