"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV)
These are the words of Jesus, The Christ, as recorded by the Apostle Matthew from The Sermon on The Mount. Jesus told His disciples that they would receive what they asked for, they would find that which they seek, and if they knock on the door, it will be opened for them.
Jesus spoke these words directly to His disciples, and indirectly to all believers. As believers we should humbly pray and ask God for that which is according to our needs. (John 14:13) We should act in a responsible manner and seek to follow His way, and obey His Word. (John 12:26) When we knock on the door, we may have to knock more than once. This suggests persistence in our efforts, knowing that He will hear us, and He will see us, and He will reward our efforts. He will open doors for us which no man can close. (Revelation 3:8) We just need to pray, to seek His way, and to be persistent.
