"The" is a definite article, so it specifies which Faith, the Lord through his Apostle,was talking about.
Faith is one of the most abused words, in the believer's world. "Jude 1:3 KJV
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." The faith was also mentioned, which makes it clear that, there might be, other faiths, but there's one particular one, God is referring to.
"Jude 1:20 KJV
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost," this faith God is talking about is the most holy faith.
A lot of Christians love to hear or speak about faith, especially with testimonies of acquisition of some material things. Messages of Faith has not been focused on the basic need for faith, but on the least matters. Pastors preach on how they built their mansions and bought luxurious cars by faith, that doesn't save anyone. Reading through the book of "Hebrew 11" none of the heroes of faith was described as one who acquired material things by faith. Moses abandoned Pharaoh's great possessions by faith, Abraham looked for that city whose builder and maker is God. "Hebrews 11:16 KJV
But now they desire a better country , that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city."
Faith is the necessary tool in pleasing God. (Hebrew 11:6)
Faith is we requires to live a holy life even the future yet unseen, but promised by God.
"Hebrews 10:38 KJV
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him."

Prayer: Father incline my faith towards you alone, that I might posses what I can not earn.
