Talk:Covenant

Lets use this discussion page guys... i really need it for this essay i need to write for Bahai studies at my school. The question is "What does it mean to you to follow the covenant?" 800 words, if you as me its a pretty hard thing to write about, you see its like asking you to sum up the bible in a nut shell.... not easy... any advice anyone? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.168.160.29 (talk • contribs) .

This is an easy task, 800 words is not that many. Take a look at the quote below and see if it helps you.

35.5 O army of God! Through the protection and help vouchsafed by the Blessed Beauty -- may my life be a sacrifice to His loved ones -- ye must conduct yourselves in such a manner that ye may stand out distinguished and brilliant as the sun among other souls. Should any one of you enter a city, he should become a centre of attraction by reason of his sincerity, his faithfulness and love, his honesty and fidelity, his truthfulness and loving-kindness towards all the peoples of the world, so that the people of that city may cry out and say: 'This man is unquestionably a Bahá'í, for his manners, his behaviour, his conduct, his morals, his nature, and disposition reflect the attributes of the Bahá'ís.' Not until ye attain this station can ye be said to have been faithful to the Covenant and Testament of God. For He hath, through irrefutable Texts, entered into a binding Covenant with us all, requiring us to act in accordance with His sacred instructions and counsels. SWA.075-6
