You Must Be Born Again

December 31, 1961

It's one of the most vital subjects in the Bible, and the first doctrine that our Lord preached, "You Must Be Born Again." Brother Branham thought this subject would be good to make for the first year's teaching on December 31, 1961, and we feel the same way today, because the Word can never change.

He saved his main New Year's message for that night so that we could search this deep subject through and find the truth of it. It's a must, Brother Branham said. Not, "you ought to; you'd be better off if you did, but "you must be borned again."

"And then if it's that essential and that great, that it's totally impossible to enter the Kingdom of heaven, or even see It, until you're born again, and so many different interpretations of that word "borned again," we ought to seek it out with all of our heart to find out what it means."

We're so blessed to not only have the desire to seek out the truth, but to know that we have found the truth in this Message.

To start off the new year, we couldn't say a better prayer than what Brother Branham does:

"Now, as we open Thy Word this morning to find consolation and stepping stones to bring us closer to Him, I pray, Father, that the Holy Spirit will open the Word to us, that we, Lord, as Thy servants, will be better equipped to face the new year. For we ask it in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen."
