Deliverance
Just as calamity is due to disobedience, so deliverance from calamity can be obtained only be obedience. There is no chance or uncertainty about the matter. Turning from God inevitably brings disaster, and turning to God as inevitably brings blessing.
- Dr. J.E. Esslemont, Bahá’u’lláh and the New Era, p. 95
