If faith can console an individual, then it follows that believers can be enabled to do more good. Giving more is what it's all about...
This should make it clear to you that faith is effective - making faith very reasonable to caring people. There is no hope for the unbeliever, which is why they are limited to an "ebb and flow" when it comes to doing good.
