What does the Bible say about whether God hears us?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that God hears those whom He has sovereignly chosen, and He hears them with divine favor.
The question of whether God hears us is deeply tied to the doctrine of election and God's sovereign grace. Genesis 21 illustrates God's hearing of Ishmael, whose name means 'God will hear.' It's crucial to understand that God's hearing is not merely a matter of listening; it pertains to divine favor and acceptance, as emphasized in passages like Psalm 50. God hears those who call upon Him, particularly for Christ's sake, which means that our connection to Christ is what brings us into a favorable relationship with God. We are reminded that God does not hear based on our merit but solely through the grace bestowed upon us in Christ.
