What are the three promises and the three conditions to those promises in Matthew 7:7–8?
The three conditions are commands from the Lord — ask, seek, and knock. The three promises answer each one: if we ask, it will be given to us; if we seek, we will find; if we knock, the door will be opened. Everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened.
