Faith, as the Bible teaches it, is faith in God coming against everything that contradicts Him- a faith that says, I will remain true to God's character whatever He may do. The highest and the greatest expression of faith in the whole Bible is- Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him (Job 13:15).

Spiritual character is only made by standing loyal to God's character, no matter what distress the trial of faith brings.
