Question:
60.1—Does God hear/answer prayers of non-Christians? 60.1—We started out by listing some Scriptures that we thought pertained to the question. John 9:31 “Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth.” Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Psalm 34:15 “The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.” Psalm 66:18 “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” James 5:16 “…The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” Psalm 51 – The whole chapter. Proverbs 28:9 “He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.” Proverbs 15:29 “The Lord is far from the wicked: but He heareth the prayer of the righteous.” Psalm 145:18 “The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth.” Here is a short summary of what we gathered from these verses. Physically speaking, the Lord knows all and hears all. So, simply because of the fact that He is God He hears the prayers of all people. But, it seems from these verses that the only prayer that He answers from an unbeliever is the call of faith to repentance (Romans 10:13).
