I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am saying that he should pray about that. He Should Pray and God Will Give Him LifeJohn refers to a type of prayer that is definitely in line with God’s desires and purposes, so we can be sure that He will answer (1 John 5:14-15). It is prayer for spiritually weak believers who need God’s grace (His undeserved favor, love, help and spiritual ability) and encouragement in a prayer are as follows:

1 John 3:8 He who does what is sinful is the devil because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
The Devil
Many people in the world, even some in the church, refuse to accept the fact of a real devil who wars against God and seeks to destroy people spiritually and in every other way (1 Peter 5:8). But John, one of Jesus’ closest followers, has much to say about “the devil.” He calls him “the evil one” (1 John 3:13; 2:13-14; 5:18-19), who “has been sinning from the beginning” (from the time he first rebelled against God, before the temptation of Adam and Eve, John 8:44). He is the instigator of sin, and those who continue to live in sin are “of the devil” (1 John 3:8), are his children (1 John 3:12). He is behind “the spirit of antichrist” that is in the world (1 John 4:3), and he has “the whole world” – those who do not follow God -under his control (1 John 5:19). But the devil cannot permanently harm God’s children (1 John 5:18). In fact, the follower of Christ will “overcome the evil one” (1 John 2:13-14; 4:4), and Christ will “destroy the devil’s work” (1 John 3:8).

1 John 5:14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
Ask Anything According To His Will
Our prayers (as our lives) are effective in accomplishing God’s purposes only if they are fully submitted to and it tune with God, His Word, and His will for our lives. (God’s will can be described as His desires and plans based on His character and purposes.) When we pray, we are to focus on who God is and what He can accomplish through our lives if we are in right relationship with Him. Praying with such an awareness will increase our faith and dependence on God (John 14:13). We can know God’s will in many instances because it is directly revealed in His Word. At other times, it becomes clear only as we earnestly pray and rely on God to guide our lives and show us His plans. As we grow deeper in a relationship with God and better understand His character, we will better understand His desires and purposes as well. Once we know His will about any given issue or situation, then we can ask in confidence and faith. When we do this, we know that He hears us and that His purposes for us will be accomplished (1 John 3:22).

1 John 5:3 This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
His Commands Are Not Burdensome
True children of God will not consider God’s commands, principles, and guidelines too heavy, unpleasant, or unreasonable (Psalms 119:16, 47, 70). This does not mean that His commands will be easy to live by. Yet, as John explains in 1 John 5:4, our faith and spiritual salvation bring the Holy Spirit’s power into our lives, giving us both the desire and the ability to obey God (Philippians 2:13).

1 John 5:2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.
This Is How We Know
True Christians love, which is the fruit of the Christian’s love for God (Mark 12:30) and obedience to His commands (1 John 3:23; John 15:10; Matthew 23:37; John 14:21), will express itself in unselfish love for others – the second greatest commandment (Matthew 22:39-40). That is to say, the acts of love toward others are evidence of true love for God.

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
Walk In The Light
“Walk in the light” means to believe and accept God’s truth as revealed in His Word and to make an earnest and sustained effort, with His help, to live by God’s truth in words and actions. The expression, “the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin,” refers to the ongoing work of sanctification (spiritual and moral purification, refinement, growth, development, maturity, and preparation from God’s purposes) within the lives of those who follow Christ. Through the inner presence of His Holy spirit, God provides continual cleansing for a believers unknown and unintentional sins. John is probably not thinking here of deliberate defiance against God and His standard since he speaks of walking in the light. This continual purifying allows us to have intimate companionship with God.

1 John 1:6 If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
Fellowship With Him
To “walk in the darkness” means to live outside of God’s truth and a personal relationship with Him. It means to reject God’s standards and pursue one’s own direction toward selfish and immoral pleasure. People who live this way do not “have fellowship with Him,” and are “not born of God” (1 John 3:7-9; John 3:19; 2 Corinthians 6:14). Their actions show that they do not have a saving relationship with God. But those who have accepted God’s forgiveness and the opportunity to have true companionship with Christ experience His favor, help and strength to live in spiritual purity and to do what is right by God’s standard (1 John 1:7; 2:4; 3:10).
