Principles of Grace: Ask, Seeking Knock - You Will Receive
Matthew 7:7-11 must be interpreted in context. The context of Jesus teaching is the radical change of the Believer from sinful rebel to righteous Saint. Jesus is teaching not a prosperity gospel, name it claim it gospel. He is teaching that we ask, seek, knock on the door of heaven to receive spiritual gifts in the process of sanctification. We must earnestly seek God in obtaining these eternal gifts, and God gives only the best of gifts.
