How do we know that God's Word is effective in bringing life?

Answered in 1 source

God's Word is the incorruptible seed that, when sown in the heart by the Holy Spirit, brings about spiritual life.

The effectiveness of God's Word in producing life is rooted in its nature as the incorruptible seed, as outlined in Matthew 13. The parable of the sower illustrates that when the seed—the Word of God—is sown in the heart by the Holy Spirit, it can produce life and bears fruit. This process is wholly under God's sovereign grace, as He is the one who must prepare the heart to receive the Word. Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God, indicating that it is through the proclamation of His Word that individuals are brought to spiritual life. The transformative power of the Word is evident when it is taken deep into the heart, causing one to see their need for Christ.
