Definition and Context:
The term "effecting" refers to the act of bringing about or causing something to happen. In a biblical context, it often pertains to the divine actions of God, the workings of the Holy Spirit, or the faithful actions of believers that bring about God's will or purpose.

Biblical Instances and Themes:

1. Divine Sovereignty and Providence:
God is frequently depicted as the ultimate cause behind events and outcomes. His sovereign will is effectual in creation, history, and individual lives. Isaiah 46:10-11 states, "I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’" This passage highlights God's ability to effect His purposes throughout time.

2. The Work of the Holy Spirit:
The Holy Spirit is a primary agent in effecting transformation and empowerment in the lives of believers. In Acts 1:8 , Jesus tells His disciples, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." The Holy Spirit effects the power necessary for witnessing and ministry.

3. Faith and Works:
The New Testament emphasizes that faith, when genuine, effects good works. James 2:17 states, "So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead." This underscores the belief that true faith will naturally effect righteous deeds.

4. Prayer as a Means of Effecting Change:
Prayer is a significant means by which believers can effect change, aligning their desires with God's will. James 5:16 encourages, "The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail." This suggests that prayer is not merely a passive activity but an active means of effecting God's purposes on earth.

5. Miracles and Healing:
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus' miracles are acts of effecting divine power and compassion. In Mark 5:34 , Jesus tells a woman healed of her affliction, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction." Here, faith and divine power effect physical healing.

6. Salvation and Redemption:
The ultimate effecting work of God is seen in the salvation and redemption of humanity through Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:7 declares, "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace." This passage highlights the effecting power of Christ's sacrifice in bringing about redemption.

Theological Implications:

· God's Omnipotence: The concept of effecting underscores God's omnipotence and His ability to accomplish His will without hindrance.
· Human Agency and Responsibility: While God is the primary agent of effecting His will, humans are called to participate through faith, obedience, and prayer.
· Interplay of Divine and Human Action: The Bible presents a dynamic relationship between divine sovereignty and human responsibility, where God's purposes are effected through both divine intervention and human cooperation.

Conclusion:
The biblical concept of effecting is multifaceted, involving divine action, human response, and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. It emphasizes God's active role in history and individual lives, while also calling believers to participate in His purposes through faith and obedience.(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Effect.2716. katergazomai -- to work out
