How does Stephen demonstrate faith in the face of persecution?

Answered in 1 source

Stephen demonstrates unwavering faith by looking to the glory of God despite facing violent opposition.

In Acts 7:55-56, even as Stephen faces stoning, he displays remarkable faith by looking steadfastly into heaven and seeing the glory of God and Jesus standing at His right hand. This moment illustrates the profound strength that comes from a firm belief in Christ, as Stephen remains focused on God's glory rather than the hostility around him. His faith allows him to confront his persecutors with the truth of the Gospel, showing that true faith does not waver in times of trial. This account serves as an example and encouragement for all believers to maintain a steadfast gaze upon Christ during adversities.
