A Roadmap for a moral Society Ep. 36, The Fear of God, Virtues and Justice

Exploring the Baha’i Teachings: The Fear of God, Virtues and Justice

In our session on ‘Roadmap for Moral Society in Baha’i Writings’ held on 14th August 2023, we take an in-depth look at how Baha’i teachings provide a roadmap for a moral society. We discuss how the fear of God operates as a source of all virtues and good deeds and its role in instilling justice. Delving into various religious interpretations and how they influence societal behaviour, we ponder on the role of good deeds in spiritual progress. Join us as we also explore the concept of intercession, value of maintaining virtues, and how everyone’s actions are recorded on a spiritual level. Experience and learn how adopting the Holy Spirit in daily life can drastically impact, not only your individual spiritual journey but also society’s betterment as a whole.
