Character is to the heart what a foundation is to a house. Compromise in either can not stand in a storm.
Matthew 7:24-27 says:
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.The same pressures come to the good and the bad, but how they abide them proves the character.
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain cam down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
(Matt. 7:24-27)
