17For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. (Hebrews 2:17,18)
And
16And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 17In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. 18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. (1 John 4:16-18)
Basically, I'm not sure that God's love makes up for a lack of Faith. But, I know his mercy is enough for any mistakes we make. I also know that when we obey the law of Love, (The Golden rule), that Love (God) gets down on the inside and casts out fear, which is the opposite of Faith. So, by living by Love and in Love, we can increase our Faith. The entire book of 1 John deals with the relationship between Faith and Love. Additionally, Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. By spending time in God's word, (Love's word, because God is love), our Faith will grow.(Romans 10:17)
