Active faith

It is active faith that God is looking for not just theoretical. A disciple of Jesus called James said "Prove that you have faith without doing kind deeds, and I will prove that I have faith by doing them." meaning that it is the "Activity of the trusting God in the workshop of life itself, that is where we see the hand of God at work.

Jesus demonstrated this to his 12 disciples in the feeding of the 5000 Jesus took the loves and fish which was enough for the boys lunch and gave a 12th of it to each of the disciples to distribute among the 5000 men and their families. They took their portion to the first hungry mouth and handed it to them and at that point the miracle happened. Each time they handed a portion of the food they had in their hand to a hungry person, it happened again. By the end of their lunch time they had more left over than they stared with.

Matthew chapter 14 v 15-21 Later that afternoon the disciples came to Jesus and said, “It’s going to be dark soon and the people are hungry, but there’s nothing to eat here in this desolate place. You should send the crowds away to the nearby villages to buy themselves some food.”

“They don’t need to leave,” Jesus responded. “You can give them something to eat.” They answered, “But all we have is five barley loaves and two fish.” “Let me have them,” Jesus replied. Then he had everyone sit down on the grass as he took the five loaves and two fish. He looked up into heaven, gave thanks to God, and broke the bread into pieces. He then gave it to his disciples, who in turn gave it to the crowds. And everyone ate until they were satisfied, for the food was multiplied in front of their eyes! They picked up the leftovers and filled up twelve baskets full! There were about five thousand men who were fed, in addition to many women and children!
