How do we know that God's calling is effective?

Answered in 9 sources

God's calling is effective as seen in the life of Elisha, who, despite his initial inadequacy, was empowered to fulfill his prophetic role.

The effectiveness of God's calling is illustrated through Elisha's life, where he moved from being a simple farmer to a powerful prophet. When Elijah asked him what he wanted before being taken up, Elisha expressed his need for a double portion of Elijah's spirit, which reflects a recognition of his own inadequacy and a reliance on God's grace. This moment underscores that those whom God calls are equipped by His Spirit to carry out His purposes, as evidenced when Elisha performed miracles and ministered effectively to the people of Israel.
