Answer
Faith, as described by Jaspers, must be a deeply personal conviction, not merely an intellectual assent to a set of religious beliefs. It should not be compelled by external authority, but rather nurtured through individual contemplation and a profound encounter with the ultimate. Through this introspective journey, one finds a personal relationship with the divine and establishes a solid grounding for their spiritual convictions.
