How do we know the calling of God is effectual?

Answered in 1 source

God's call is effectual, meaning it accomplishes His divine purpose, as seen in the immediate response of the disciples in Mark 1:18.

The effectual calling of God refers to the belief that when God calls someone to salvation, it effectively leads to their transformation and acceptance of Christ. In Mark 1:18, we see this demonstrated as the disciples immediately forsook their nets and followed Jesus. This illustrates that God's call is undeniably powerful and purposeful, drawing individuals away from their former lives into a new relationship with Him. His commands do not return void but achieve what He desires (Isaiah 55:11).
