Bahá’u’lláh explains the “purpose of the one true God in manifesting Himself” through His Prophets

The purpose of the one true God in manifesting Himself is to summon all mankind

  • to truthfulness and sincerity,
  • to piety and trustworthiness,
  • to resignation and submissiveness to the will of God,
  • to forbearance and kindliness,
  • to uprightness and
  • wisdom.

His object is to array every man with the mantle of a saintly character, and to adorn him with the ornament of holy and goodly deeds.” 

- Bahá’u’lláh  (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
