What I read instead is that one’s faith is revealed, not by their words, but by their actions, their works. I think this is the reason Jesus tests us or perhaps why He lets Satan have his way with us from time to time. It’s to see if we’ve learned His lessons, to see if we mean what we say or if we’re just being hypocrites and con artists with Him and with ourselves.

Question: Does Almighty God need to see our actions to know if our faith is genuine or can He see within our hearts?

I think He's all-powerful, omnipotent and omnipresent and that His ways are not our ways.

Giving us free will makes things interesting.

Beyond that, I don’t know.
