Definition: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Explanation: Okay, let’s break down this famous verse from Matthew 7:8. It's a really important message about how God works with us! Here’s the simple explanation: Basically, God wants a good relationship with you. Let's unpack it word by word: “For every one that asketh” : This means anyone who asks for something – whether it’s help, forgiveness, or even just a little bit of attention – is opening the door to receiving. It’s about being open and reaching out. “…receiveth” : This is Latin for "receives." It means to receive something good, like blessings, favor, or understanding. “And he that seeketh” : This refers to those who are actively looking for what they need. It's someone who’s trying to find a solution, a way to improve their situation, or to understand God's will. “…findeth” : This means they discover something good or helpful. “And to him that knocketh it shall be opened” : This is the key part! “Knocketh” means to make a request, to ask for something. If you knock (seek) with a sincere and humble heart, God will open the door – meaning He will grant your request, provide your help, or reveal what’s best for you. In short: God wants to welcome those who approach Him with genuine desire and seek His guidance. It's about being open to receiving blessings from Him! Think of it like this: It’s a gentle invitation to be receptive to God's will, rather than trying to force things. Does that make sense? Do you want me to go into more detail on any part of this verse, or perhaps give an example of how it applies in your life?
