Jesus and the centurion in the bible. Put your trust in God

There is a story in the gospel of Matthew about the trust in god, the encounter between Jesus and the centurion in Matthw 8:5-13:
When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. "Lord", he said, "my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly".
Jesus said to him, "Shall I come and heal him?"
The centurion replied, "Lord I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the Word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, "Go", and he goes; and that one, "Come", and he comes. I say to my servant, "Do this", and he does it".
When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, "Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would". And his servant was healing at the moment.
The trust in God, like the centurion is not a simply and blind faith, it is a particular knowledge of God that comes from wisdom, and the progressive thinking. We don't need to believe because god is manifests in his perfections, his qualities. This is expressed in the letter to the Romans:

The old testament explains that the trust in God comes from the progressive acquisition of wisdom, the trust in God is the adult faith, the faith fo those reborn in the spirit.
The trust in God is the realization of hope and it is the total certainly that happiness and all the spiritual goods like peace, joy, longevity belongs to the blessed, to those who choose to live the spiritual gifts, to those who search the correct and the best allways.
