What is faith in God?

[Ausie 52]

I think the Amplified Bible translates faith as... to trust in, to rely upon, to cling to.

That is good It is a genuine true faith in God. Trust in God must be based on the genuine God in the Bible. The God in the Bible is a triune God, so true faith in God must include the Holy Trinity. The Father,Son and Holy Spirit. There is a difference in having a knowledge of God and having a true understanding of the true God.

For me it is the faith of Jesus.

That faith revealed through the Holy Spirit.

One does not need knowledge of a trinity, in fact does not know, until after the Holy Spirit makes it possible to comprehend the word of God, and with that the nature of God.  

One is as fully  a "true" Christian the moment  the Holy Spirit turns about an undividual from sin against God to worship of Him as they will later be if they become rival to "the Bible man" and can recite whole books of the Bible in English (KJV of course).

The Holy Trinity is hard to understand for most Christians although it is a very important part of who God is.

Actually, it is our beginning of which God does not have... yet what gave us being is of Him (Spirit) that has no beginning... When Adam became a soul by God's infusion of breath we became that which never has became in a created nursery of coddling by God of sorts. God says no one can see His Face and live and since God is Spirit there exist no form but the infinite process of being without end and coming into that reality would not be survivable to us in our beginning nursery of begin...

Adam in his opening consciousness would have nothing but question in absolute everything in his sensual learning grid of began. The communicated answers would only come from one source 'God's Word' and whether God gave form to that Word or not would not have been necessarily necessary due to the fact everything was new and to be learned (he would not know difference of voice without form or voice with form). In this innocence of begin God's Word was the only answer to the questions that would be forthcoming in Adams growth of understanding from absolute begin... This is the bridge of faith and it connects that which 'IS' Spiritual to that which began and was the means by which God fed both material exist and spiritual exist within the being of Adam. If you could remove all lie and have only truth you would have pure faith generated by God's Word in the beginning with Adam... God simply says it like this:

John 1:1 (KJV)

[Jn 1:1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Romans 10:17 (KJV)

[17] So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

the key is to return to this reality s/Spiritually but without body or world unredeemed by God... thus

Hebrews 11:3 (KJV)

[3] Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

and the only way we can have this realty as in the beginning without doubt is to come to Jesus for Spiritual regeneration wherein lies the capacity to once again exist also in s/Spirit... The necessity is simple said like this

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)

[6] But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

As all of the entirety of this creation will be removed even the memory of... for what is the value of lie really? Satan became nothing when he emptied himself of God and filled that void with lie... this is why the natural man has no hope of God for he holds no capacity to make God's Word more substantial than this life of begin and the lies that fill it...

Some good answers here!  I've come to see faith as basically synonymous with belief and trust.  And, as @Neighbor pointed out, it is the "faith of Jesus" which several places indicate He puts into us.  That is, the believing is not even of ourselves, it is a gift.
