SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:7
Si permaneces en mí, y mis palabras permanecen en vosotros, todo lo que quisiereis pediris, y os ser hecho.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 15:7
Verse 7. If ye abide in me, &c.] "Those," says Creeshna, "whose understandings are in him, (God,) whose souls are in him, whose confidence is in him, whose asylum is in him, are by the inspired wisdom purified from all their offenses, and go from whence they shall never return." Geeta, p. 59. Observe, in order to have influence with God, we must-1. Be united to Christ-if ye abide in me. 2. That in order to be preserved in this union, we must have our lives regulated by the doctrine of Christ-and my words abide in you. 3. That to profit by this union and doctrine, we must pray-ye shall ask. 4. That every heavenly blessing shall be given to those who continue in this union, with a loving, obedient, praying spirit:-ye shall ask what ye will, &c.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you , etc.] Abiding in Christ is here explained by his words or doctrines abiding in his disciples; by which are meant his Gospel, and the truths of it. This abides when it comes in power, and becomes the engrafted word; and may be said to do so, when such, in whose hearts it has a place, and has taken deep root, continue to have a relish and savour of it, a true and hearty affection for it, esteeming it above their necessary food; when they hold fast the profession of it, stand fast in it, steadfastly abide by it, and constantly attend on it; all which is a considerable evidence that they do, yea, there is a promise that they shall continue in the Son and in the Father, ( 1 John 2:24); The blessing and privilege that such shall enjoy is, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you ; or, as some copies read it, it shall be given you: but this must be understood not of temporal things, as riches, honours, profits, pleasures, or whatever even the carnal mind of a believer himself may sometimes desire; but of things spiritual, and with such limitations and restrictions as these; whatever is according to the will of God, for the Spirit of God himself asks for no other for the saints; whatever is for the glory of God, and for their own spiritual profit and edification; and whatever is agreeably to the words and doctrines of Christ, which abide in them. Every thing of this kind they ask in faith, and with a submission to the divine will, they may expect to receive.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Jesus Christ is the Vine, the true Vine. The union of the human an Divine natures, and the fulness of the Spirit that is in him, resembl the root of the vine made fruitful by the moisture from a rich soil Believers are branches of this Vine. The root is unseen, and our lif is hid with Christ; the root bears the tree, diffuses sap to it, and in Christ are all supports and supplies. The branches of the vine ar many, yet, meeting in the root, are all but one vine; thus all tru Christians, though in place and opinion distant from each other, mee in Christ. Believers, like the branches of the vine, are weak, an unable to stand but as they are borne up. The Father is the Husbandman Never was any husbandman so wise, so watchful, about his vineyard, a God is about his church, which therefore must prosper. We must be fruitful. From a vine we look for grapes, and from a Christian we loo for a Christian temper, disposition, and life. We must honour God, an do good; this is bearing fruit. The unfruitful are taken away. And eve fruitful branches need pruning; for the best have notions, passions and humours, that require to be taken away, which Christ has promise to forward the sanctification of believers, they will be thankful, for them. The word of Christ is spoken to all believers; and there is cleansing virtue in that word, as it works grace, and works ou corruption. And the more fruit we bring forth, the more we abound i what is good, the more our Lord is glorified. In order to fruitfulness we must abide in Christ, must have union with him by faith. It is the great concern of all Christ's disciples, constantly to keep u dependence upon Christ, and communion with him. True Christians find by experience, that any interruption in the exercise of their faith causes holy affections to decline, their corruptions to revive, an their comforts to droop. Those who abide not in Christ, though they ma flourish for awhile in outward profession, yet come to nothing. The fire is the fittest place for withered branches; they are good for nothing else. Let us seek to live more simply on the fulness of Christ and to grow more fruitful in every good word and work, so may our jo in Him and in his salvation be full.
