Nine things you know when you are a Bahá’í

1. You are a member of a single human family that includes every race, religion, nation and gender. There is no room for prejudice in your heart.

2. God loves all of us, regardless of the time or place we live. That's why there have been many different prophets throughout history. Each one taught humanity what we needed to know at that time, and prepared us to learn more. We call it Progressive Revelation.

3. You are responsible for your own spiritual growth [ there are no clergy in the Bahai Faith] , so you can't expect anyone else to tell you what to believe - not your preacher, not your parents, not your friends. You have to decide for yourself who God's prophets were and what they were telling us.

4. Women and men are equal. When we truly understand that our spiritual qualities are more important than our physical ones, both men and women will begin to value characteristics and activities which have traditionally been considered feminine.

5. You are essentially good, but you must use your free will to develop your God-given potential. Education both material and spiritual is the key to becoming the best possible person.

6. World peace is possible, but it must be founded on justice and supported by an international federation that is dedicated to promoting unity while preserving diversity.

7. Your head and your heart don’t have to be in conflict. Science and religion, faith and reason are just different ways of looking at God’s creation. If they seem to be in conflict, it is time to look deeper.

8. You are a spiritual being, who is being trained through material experiences, and when your life is over, you will continue to learn and progress through spiritual experiences.

9. The human race is maturing. God’s Kingdom on Earth will not drop out of the sky – it will be built by all of us, one heart at a time.
