How do we know that the Word of God is powerful?

Answered in 1 source

The Word of God is powerful as it transforms lives, bringing conviction and enabling believers to endure persecution and grow in faith.

The power of the Word of God is not mere rhetoric; it is affirmed in the transformation seen in the lives of believers. Paul expresses gratitude that the Thessalonians accepted the preached Word not as the word of men but as it is—the Word of God, which is at work in them. This acceptance leads to a transformation that reflects God's power to save and sanctify. Furthermore, the Word acts as a double-edged sword, discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart, and enabling believers to stand firm amidst trials. In Romans 1:16, Paul states that the Gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, affirming that it is through the Word that believers receive strength and encouragement.
