“So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 53:11) That is, God’s Word is efficacious. Effective is a synonym, but it means “producing a result” whereas efficacious means “power to produce effects or intended results”. The shade of difference seems to be passive versus active. God’s Word actively, powerfully, and without faltering accomplishes God’s designs. So does His grace. Without it I drift, I’m sunk. With it I am enabled, it will change me. I know it;I feel it; It is happening. Click on Grace Means to Me to check out my song on how grace is at work in me.
