The Savior taught us that all men and women
must be born again.
Nicodemus one of the rulers among the Jews,
came surreptitiously to the Savior by night
and said, "Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher
come from God, for no man can do these miracles that thou doest
except God be with him."
Jesus answered and said unto him, "Verily,
verily I say unto thee, except a man be born again he cannot see
the kingdom of God."
Nicodemus was bewildered and asked,
how can a man be born again when he's old?
Can he enter at the second time into his mother's womb
and be born?
Jesus explained that he was talking
about being born spiritually.
He said, "Verily, verily I say unto thee,
except a man be born of the water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which was born of the Spirit is Spirit."
All of us need to be born spiritually, from eight to 80,
or even 90.
When Sister Louise Woolf of the German Democratic Republic
was baptized in 1989, she exclaimed,
"There I was, 94 years old and born again."
Our first birth takes place when we are born into mortality.
Our second birth begins when we are baptized by water by one
holding the priesthood of God and is completed
when we are confirmed and then cometh at remission of our sins
by fire and by the Holy Ghost.
