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’)
