Baha’i Laws

Introduction

Baha’u’llah, the Manifestation of God for this age, has brought God’s plan for world unity. This plan contains the laws and principles needed to build the Kingdom of God on earth. Many of these laws are familiar and are found in the other great religions of the world. Other laws are new and found only in the Baha'i Faith. As social conditions change and mankind ma- tures, new laws are needed to guide men and help them develop according to God’s plan. Each Manifestation of God brings new laws. However, basic spiritual principles are eternal, such as the ‘‘law of love, which, like a fountain, always flows and is never overtaken by change.’’'
