Throughout the Bible, the faith of the saints was never something passive. Rather, it was a faith that was put into action.
If Abraham never acted on His faith, He would never have departed to the "land of milk and honey" or birthed a new nation.
If Moses never acted on His faith, He would never have led the children of Israel out of Egypt.
If David never acted on His faith, He would never have defeated Goliath.
The Bible is filled with stories of saints whose faith was put into action---action which God met with His own supernatural power to produce wonderful, miraculous and astounding results.
God is a rewarder of faith...
