If you lack faith, you do not know Him

 

And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed. For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.”   Luke 7:6-9 (ESV) Without faith it is impossible to please God, yet faith is not something that can be manufactured. It is a fruit of what or who we know. If you really know God, you trust Him. If you trust Him, you act in faith. If you lack faith, you do not know Him. Some think that more faith would be good, when in reality, even a little faith would be good. The idea of mustard seed faith is real, and we see that God is not dependent upon our faith to be God or to accomplish His work. The faith we have, even a little faith, benefits us, not Him. Those who lack faith need to readjust their lives so they can get to know who God is, for there is no possible way for someone to really know God and lack faith.
