Well, to have faith in God is to trust Him above all. The main point is that trust itself has to do with the integrity, reputation, character, image, and ability of someone. Based on that statement, it’s quite easy for us to realize why God is not pleased as a result of people’s unbelief. When people cannot trust God with their lives, it doesn’t honor whom God is, it doesn’t honor His Word, and it doesn’t honor His integrity as well. Unbelief itself is a form of idolatry because something else is being trusted more than God. Unbelief is always associated and sustained by something contrary to how God Himself wants us to see Him in light of a present troubling issue. So unbelief is a major stumbling block that will always keep us from reaching our full potential into Him. The question is that do we allow doubt, worry, fear, erroneous beliefs, and uncertainty about the future to occupy the place that God Himself should occupy in our lives? Whatever we’ve allowed to hold us back from trusting God is our god in some way; in other words, whatever it may be is being assigned more trust since it gets to determine our belief toward God. God’s standard operating procedures demand that anything that’s being done for Him must be done in a way that reflects His shining greatness. Meaning that we have to give Him our very best in everything we’re doing for Him. With respect to trusting God, it has to be done without reservation. Additionally, it has to be done by turning our focus away from the obstacles that may hinder us from trusting Him. Trusting means rise above our human weaknesses that are pulling us down like a strong gravity force to a position far below from where God wants us to operate as His children. In short, faith glorifies God in the context of trusting Him on the ground of who He is, and what He’s able to do in relation to what He says in His Word. On the other hand, unbelief utterly brings dishonor to God due to the fact that it doesn’t acknowledge God’s trustworthiness, greatness, and faithfulness. E.G Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see ( Hebrews 11:1). And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him ( Hebrews 11:6)

Faith is d invisible string dat binds d believer to his religion n stops him from questioning d loopholes n incredible stories he is told. Faith is simply, beliving without proof.
If a conman ask u 2 bring 100k n assures u of reaping a 100 fold in 24hrs if u belive, would u give him? Guess u wld say dats gullible/stupid of any1 to do rite? But dat scam happens in churches, all in d name of faith. I no of a nigerian pastor dat was based in d uk, with his church name starting wit k, dat specialises in dis kind of scam.
Even islam teaches faith. D jihadist/suicide bomber is propelled by faith to kill himself along with innocent bystanders, wit d belief he will b welcome into paradise by 72 sexy virgins! Crazy? No, dats real Faith 4 u!
D originators of xtianity & Islam knows dat without faith, religion is dead on arrival. Even today, remove faith from xtianity & Islam n watch dem die sudden death!

You must know that your parents are your parents before you can approach them and get anything from them.
