It is really an identifier Faith, would you say that one who was not motivated to action truly had faith?

divine love!

Ez 36:25-27

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, (baptism) and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Romans 5:5
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

1 cor 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

NEVER “FAITH ALONE”!!!

Hello Robert.

The demons have just as much faith (James 2:19) as you and me that He is the Son of God and our Lord Saviour . Were demons "motivated" to feed the poor, help the homeless etc?

I don't know Mary, I know that many of their followers are. demons like satan their leader are extremely intelligent, take a modern day example, the gift of healing, the gifts that were given the apostles died out with them maam, including healing, yet some still practice it, does the healing come from God, or from demons? Instinctively we want to say God, but remember the apostles could cure anything, which is not the case today, and even some of the healings performed can be questionable, but think of how many of the observers would believe that the one performing the healing was from God, he has drawn many in this way. People respond to good things, so no doubt satan and the demons use many things to draw them to them that appeal to them Mary. Jesus pointed out that the vast majority of humans were on the road to destruction, which represents satan and his horde, isn't it logical he uses things that appeal to us to draw us away from Jehovah?
