FOREWARD 2

By Rev. Dr. Seth Dzokoto

Rev. S.Y. Kwami makes a firm statement in this book that best describes all we know him for: Missions and Evangelism. He is an astute and prolific writer whose works are in the area of Holy Spirit baptism, discipleship, healing and deliverance.

In this book, WHY YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN, Rev. S.Y. Kwami appropriately establishes the truth about what it really means to be born again, the experience of the new birth in Christ, and why every human being needs to be born again. For those who have already been truly born again, the author further explains God’s purpose for their new birth by sharing and throwing more light on eight reasons why one must be born again.

In our contemporary Christendom, being “Born Again” has become a cliché for most of the people who claim to be Christians. Such people attend church regularly, pray, pay their tithes regularly and perform other religious duties. Others claim they are Christians because they were born into Christian homes where their parents, even their grandparents, have been Christians. A critical look at some of these believers may reveal that they are only playing “churchianity” without actually getting saved. While Christianity is Christlikeness, “churchianity” is enrolling into church membership without having the new birth experience in Christ.

Again, Christianity is the way out of the sin-nature and the Way back to God. Interestingly, there are still other believers who could even be known for the spiritual gifts they operate in, or seen as “tongues-blowing” believers, but they may not have been saved or truly born again.

Reading this book, you will notice that all humans, irrespective of race, colour or creed, originated from the same root; all people can trace their ancestry to Biblical Noah, a righteous man. Therefore, contrary to the general perception that Christianity is a white man’s religion, the author debunks that notion with his five-point proofs to confirm the universality of Christianity.

To encourage and help people who may have some doubts about being born again, and raise some arguments or ask questions, Rev. S.Y. Kwami provides appropriate solutions and answers which you can find in this book.

This book could not have come at a better time than this, when Biblical fanatism, heresies and apostasies have crept into our society, including church life, making hell-fire a sure destination for human beings whom hell was not originally intended for.

The book is a well-researched piece and a precious gift that the author, Rev. S.Y. Kwami has given this generation and those yet unborn. It is a “must-read” book very useful for Christians and non-Christians.
