Berean Strong's Lexicon energéma: Working, operation, effect Original Word: ἐνέργημα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐνεργέω (energeō), meaning "to be at work" or "to be active." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "energéma," the concept of God's active work can be related to Hebrew terms like פָּעַל (pa'al, Strong's H6466), meaning "to do" or "to work," and עֲבוֹדָה (avodah, Strong's H5656), meaning "service" or "work." Usage: The term "energéma" refers to the result or effect of an active operation or working. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the manifestation of divine power or the effect of spiritual gifts within the Christian community. It emphasizes the active and dynamic nature of God's work among believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of divine or supernatural power being at work was not uncommon. The early Christians, living in a context where various spiritual and mystical practices were prevalent, understood "energéma" as the tangible evidence of God's presence and activity through the Holy Spirit. This term highlighted the contrast between the living power of the Christian God and the inert idols of the surrounding cultures.
