John 15:7 describes asking in relation to abiding in Christ and having His words remain in the believer.

### Why this is right John 15:7 first says to abide in Christ and have His words remain in the believer, then connects that condition with asking and receiving. The verse presents prayer within the continuing relationship described in the chapter. ### The concept Abiding is not an occasional contact. It means remaining in relationship with Christ. His words remaining in the believer indicates that His teaching continues to shape that relationship. The promise about asking should therefore be read with those stated conditions, not as a guarantee detached from Christ and His words. ### Watch out Do not quote the promise to ask while omitting the verse’s preceding condition about abiding and Christ’s words. ### Remember John 15:7 places asking within a relationship shaped by Christ’s words.
