“What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?
Can faith save him? 15
If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” (James: 2, 14-26)
I guess it’s just that simple.
Faith is not enough until your faith is manifested in action.
And that action must be for the benefit of someone in need.
When you do reach out to help someone in need, you may or may not get a “Thank You” in return.
So, the motive within you must be the knowledge that you are truly living out your faith.
And that should be all the motive you’ll ever need.
If not today, when?
