Verse 22
22. And We feel full access in prayer.
Whatsoever In this frame of sweet accord with God we ask, we receive. That spirit of accord will, indeed, circumscribe our ask within the limits of God’s will that we should have. And the Spirit grants delightful contentment and resignation to our lot within that blessed sphere.
Keep his commandments For without this objective test no subjective assurance is genuine. Our apostle gives no comfort to a mere emotional self-gratulation which is not confirmed by the volitional and active keeping and doing the positive commandments, that is, doing in all respects what is conscientious and right. The old Mosaic decalogue is not repealed in our behalf. The emotionalism that repeals the commandments is antinomianism.
