| Attributes of God |
|
| Those qualities such as love, mercy, justice and trustworthiness through which man can come to know something of the nature of God. God reveals Himself through His attributes. Further, each created thing has been made the bearer of one of the signs or attributes of God, ‘so that the whole of creation mirrors forth the beauty of God.'31 Human beings alone among creation have been made the bearers of all the divine attributes, and therefore may be said to be made in the ‘image' of God. It is one of man's purposes in this life to acquire and refine these attributes and virtues. However, the chief locus of divine attributes in this world are the Manifestations of God who exemplify most perfectly all God's attributes. Many Baháí prayers end with a list of some of the attributes, or names, of God.32 |
