We are the Baha'is of Gainesville, Florida |
|
We strive to live our lives according
to the principles of the Baha'i Faith, a world religion whose purpose
is to unite all the races and peoples in one universal Cause and one
common Faith.
Bahá’ís are followers of
Bahá’u’lláh, Who we believe is the Promised One of all Ages.
The traditions of almost every people include the promise of a future
when peace and harmony will be established on earth and humankind
will live in prosperity. We believe that the promised hour has come
and that Bahá’u’lláh is the great Personage Whose Teachings
will enable humanity to build a new world. In one of His Writings,
Bahá’u’lláh says:
“That which the Lord hath ordained as
the sovereign remedy and mightiest instrument for the healing of all
the world is the union of all its peoples in one universal Cause, one
common Faith.”
The Baha'i Faith is based on the
teachings of Baha'u'llah, the most recent in a line of
Messengers of God, who taught that there is only one God and one
human family, and that all religions represent progressive stages in
the revelation of God's Will.
