No, God's law reveals his character. For example, God does not give a command for us not to lie because lieing can be hurtful to ourselves and others (although it can). The primary reason he gave us this command is because He does not lie, He is always faithful. The law reveals His character, and when we compare His perfect character to our corrupt character it reveals our need for a savior. This is where God's will comes in. Roman's 10 tells us that it is God's will that everyone repent of their sin and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross in our place, as the punishment for our sin, and was raised again. Anyone who does this will be saved.

God's character is revealed to us in the world around us through the beauty and complexity of nature, the love and compassion shown by others, and the sense of purpose and meaning we find in our lives. By observing the wonders of creation, experiencing acts of kindness and generosity, and reflecting on our own beliefs and values, we can gain insight into the qualities of God such as love, mercy, and justice.
It's through "pain and sorrow" that one's personality, perseverance and character is developed. Whether it's good character or bad character; depending upon how we face and deal with life's troubles and trials... or how we sidestep and avoid them.Regarding the role of pain and sorrow in increasing one's Faith in God, the Bible reveals:"Because of our Faith, Christ has brought us into this place of Highest Privilege where we now stand, and we Confidently and Joyfully look forward to sharing God's Glory. WE CAN REJOICE, TOO, WHEN WE RUN INTO PROBLEMS and TRIALS, for we know that THEY ARE GOOD FOR US - they HELP US LEARN TO ENDURE. And endurance DEVELOPS STRENGTH OF CHARACTER IN US, and character STRENGTHENS OUR CONFIDENT EXPECTATION OF SALVATION. And this expectation will not disappoint us. For we know HOW DEARLY GOD LOVES US, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His Love." (Rom.5:2-5 NLT New Living Translation)
We can learn about God's character from the experiences of those who have encountered Him by observing how He shows love, compassion, forgiveness, and wisdom in their lives. These encounters can reveal God's faithfulness, grace, and power, helping us understand His nature and how He interacts with His creation.
