These Hebrew terms share a similar semantic range with εἰσακούω, often used in the Old Testament to describe God's attentive hearing and response to the prayers and cries of His people. They reflect a consistent biblical theme of divine attentiveness and responsiveness across both Testaments. Usage: The verb εἰσακούω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of hearing or listening with attention, often implying a response or action based on what is heard. It is frequently used in the context of God hearing prayers or supplications. Context: The Greek verb εἰσακούω appears in the New Testament to convey the concept of attentive listening, often with the implication of a favorable response. This term is primarily used in contexts where divine attention and intervention are sought or acknowledged. It underscores the belief in a God who is not only aware of human petitions but is also responsive to them. In the Berean Standard Bible, εἰσακούω is used in passages that highlight the relationship between God and His people, emphasizing His readiness to hear and respond to their cries. For instance, in 1 John 5:14-15, the assurance is given that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. This reflects the theological understanding that God is both accessible and willing to engage with His creation, provided that the requests align with His divine purposes. The use of εἰσακούω in the New Testament also serves to encourage believers to approach God with confidence, knowing that their prayers are not in vain. It reinforces the notion of a personal and interactive relationship with God, where communication is both possible and effective.
