Faith is trust or confidence in something or person or any actual possible event, which had happened, or in the process of happening. The Bible uses the word "faith" in a Personal belief in the teachings of Jesus, and loyalty or affiliation as expressed in Jesus as Personal Savior and Master. The fundamental of the protestant faith centered upon the issue of faith which is labeled as sola fide (only faith) or faith alone as the only condition listed to become a believer.

The matters of trusting in God - It was Canon Holmes, of India, who more than twenty-five years ago called attention to the inferential character of the average man's faith in God. To most people God is an inference, not a reality. He is a deduction from evidence which they consider adequate; but He remains personally unknown to the individual. `He must be,' they say, `therefore we believe He is.' Others do not go even so far as this; they know of Him only by hearsay. They have never bothered to think the matter out for themselves, but have heard about Him from others, and have put belief in Him into the back of their minds along with the various odds and ends that make up their total creed. To many others [God] is but an ideal, another name for goodness, or beauty, or truth; or He is law, or life, or the creative impulse back of the phenomena of existence. These notions about [God] are many and varied, but they who hold them have one thing in common: they do not know [God] in personal experience. The possibility of intimate acquaintance with Him has not entered their mind. While admitting His existence they do not think of Him as knowable in the sense that we know things or people.

[edit] What is the Will of God?
FOR ALL UNBELEVERS there is only one option OPEN for THEM to follow (while they still live and their accounts are open)
Finding God's will is finding your destiny here on earth in relation to eternity...that is your purpose here! therefore you will need a new mindset..
If they die unrepented..then the judgment awaits..for them according to the Book of Life
..FINDING THE will OF God for yourself>>>listen to this sermon FROM..1st Thessalonians 4:3 (New International Version) New International Version (NIV) 3..It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;

However, this is perhaps one of the most confusing matters for any Christians alive. It often takes years of trying before one arrived at the truth of this matters, i.e. What exactly is this will of God for a Christian?
Outside the Holy Bible(the scriptures), we have very little light on this matters, as Christians we take it as the inspiration of God's Holy Spirit as it were written for us with the instructions for how to find the will of God, and how to follow it.
First of all, the Will of God is not a Stereotype program as it were in codes for anyone Christians to download and follow. No it is a relationship with God or Jesus as Lord after receiving Him as Savior and then Lord <as they so discovered along the serendipitous road of walking towards God's center of His will> or better still as both Lord and Savior from day one of your Christian walk. It obviously starts with your commitment to follow Jesus. The Bible is an instruction book to help any Christian to walk in following Jesus.
Secondly as I myself discovered for myself it is also a life of faith. Since as it is a relationship, and a living one, we as Christians, must understand that God is here-Now alongside with us, and we can choose to follow Him as we walk along in life. As we intelligently by faith trust Him <Lord Jesus as Master> we will find it open to many new things as we walk along. WE will see things and events and people as in the view as God sees, and acknowledge as truth within the innermost of our soul and spirit.
