Why Search? |

|
I love them that love me, and those that seek me earnestly
shall find me. |
Proverbs 8:17 |
|
|
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath born witness
of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen
his shape. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom
he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for
in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which
testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have
life. |
John 5:37-40 |
|
|
And whoso maketh efforts for Us, in Our ways will We guide
them |
Qur'an 29:69 |
|
|
Look not upon Him with any eye except His own. For whosoever
looketh upon Him with His eye, will recognize Him; otherwise
he will be veiled from Him. Shouldst thou seek God and His Presence,
seek thou Him and gaze upon Him. |
The Bab quoted in Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, Page:
153 |
|
|
Immerse yourselves in the ocean of My words, that ye may
unravel its secrets, and discover all the pearls of wisdom that
lie hid in its depths. Take heed that ye do not vacillate in
your determination to embrace the truth of this Cause - a Cause
through which the potentialities of the might of God have been
revealed, and His sovereignty established. With faces beaming
with joy, hasten ye unto Him. This is the changeless Faith of
God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future. Let him that
seeketh, attain it; and as to him that hath refused to seek it
- verily, God is Self-Sufficient, above any need of His creatures. |

Life and Death |
|
|
|
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee
with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know;
that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread
only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the
LORD doth man live. |
Deuteronomy 8:3 |
|
|
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word,
and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto
life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and
now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God:
and they that hear shall live. |
John 5:24-25 |
|
|
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath born witness
of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen
his shape. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom
he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for
in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which
testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have
life. |
John 5:37-40 |
|
|
How can ye withhold faith from God? Ye were dead and He
gave you life; next He will cause you to die; next He will restore
you to life: next shall ye return to Him! |
Qur'an: Surih 2:26 |
|
|
And since I noted thy mention of thy death in God, and
thy life through Him, and thy love for the beloved of God and
the Manifestations of His Names and the Dawning-Points of His
Attributes--I therefore reveal unto thee sacred and resplendent
tokens from the planes of glory, to attract thee into the court
of holiness and nearness and beauty, and draw thee to a station
wherein thou shalt see nothing in creation save the Face of thy
Beloved One, the Honored, and behold all created things only
as in the day wherein none hath a mention. |

Failure to Believe in Prophet=Sin |
|
|
|
The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from
the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye
shall hearken;
I will raise them up a Prophet from among
their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his
mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command
him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken
unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require
it of him. |
Deuteronomy 18:15-19 |
|
|
We were dead in sins, he made us alive |
Ephesians 2:1 |
|
|
They read the Evangel and yet refuse to acknowledge the
All-Glorious Lord, notwithstanding that He hath come through
the potency of His exalted, His mighty and gracious dominion.
We, verily, have come for your sakes, and have borne the misfortunes
of the world for your salvation. |
Baha'u'llah: Tablets of Baha'u'llah, Page: 10 |
|
|
Say: There is no place of refuge for you, no asylum to
which ye can flee, no one to defend or to protect you in this
Day from the fury of the wrath of God and from His vehement power,
unless and until ye seek the shadow of His Revelation. This,
indeed, is His Revelation which hath been manifested unto you
in the person of this Youth. Glorified, then, be God for so effulgent,
so precious, so wondrous a vision. |
