How do we know God's command to seek Him is effective?
Answered in 1 source
God's command is effective because His word accomplishes its purpose and does not return void (Isaiah 55:11).
The effectiveness of God's command to seek Him is rooted in the sovereignty and power of His word. In Isaiah 55:11, it is stated that the word that goes out from His mouth shall not return to Him void; it will accomplish what He pleases. This means that whenever God speaks, whether in scripture or through the proclamation of the gospel, it carries the power to convert, to bring faith to life, and to draw sinners to repentance. This highlights the critical truth that the call to seek God is not merely an invitation; it is a command backed by divine authority that brings about transformation in the hearts of those He has chosen.
