“How did Faulkner pull it off?” is a question many a fledgling writer has asked themselves while struggling through a period of apprenticeship like that novelist John Barth describes in his 1999 talk "My Faulkner." Barth “reorchestrated” his literary heroes, he says, “in search of my writerly self... downloading my innumerable predecessors as only an insatiable green apprentice can.” Surely a great many writers can relate when Barth says, “it was Faulkner at his most involuted and incantatory who most enchanted me.” For many a writer, the Faulknerian sentence is an irresistible labyrinth.

This is faith in action. The fear of God they had depicted that they had faith in God and that led them to do what is right. They rejected and refused to carry out the king's devilish commandments because they had faith in God as a result of their fear in God. Faith in God makes us to do what is right.
