True faith produces action. God often tests our faith to prove it out, show it to be real (or not):
'..... now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that your faith ..... may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.' - 1Pet1:6-7

Santi I agree Love is an Action not just a Word. God Tests us by giving us Opportunities to walk in The Fruit of The Spirit and when needed gives us His Strength and Longsuffering during the Storms of Life. When we Choose to do Good The Holy Spirit Empowers us to do it putting our Carnal flesh to death as we Aim to be Perfected in God's Love which brings us Close to Him so Satan flees- Bless you.

Santi it's not God who Temps us to do evil James13 but we do reap the evil we sow which is God's Loving Discipline to bring us to our Senses and to Heart Repentance. Satan puts us to the test wanting us to reject The Lord and Worship him he uses his followers to hurt and deceive us and to temp us to follow the way of Balaam 2Peter2 God protects our Souls and not one of us will be lost Eternally.
