How to Know You Are Born Again: Biblical Assurance of Salvation for a Steady Faith

You Can Know You Are Born Again

The Bible does not leave this question unclear.

It says plainly:

“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life.” (1 John 5:13)

God does not say hope.
He does not say wonder.
He says know.

That matters—because a faith that is unsure will always feel shaky, especially when life gets loud or your child begins to question what they believe.

God wants you steady.

Why Being Born Again Matters

Being born again is not a church phrase or a religious milestone.

It means:

• you have received God’s life through faith in His Son

• your confidence rests on what God has said—not on performance

• your heart is anchored, even when circumstances shift

A steady faith doesn’t come from doing everything right.
It comes from agreement with God’s truth.

And that steadiness is what your children feel most.

If You Feel Uncertain, Here’s How to Proceed

Uncertainty doesn’t mean you are failing.
It often means you are ready to listen more closely.

The Bible shows us a simple path:

• hear what God says

• understand it

• believe it for yourself

Faith becomes settled when truth is no longer secondhand.

One Clear Step You Can Take Today

You don’t need to solve everything.

You can take one steady step:

• open God’s Word  (Start in 1 John)

• read what He says

• let it persuade your heart making notes about what you learn

That is faith.

And faith rooted in Scripture—not tradition or pressure—becomes calm, confident, and strong enough to carry both you and your family.

You are not failing.

You are being invited to know—for yourself.  Receive the invitation today and "learn of Him".

If You’d Like Help Along the Way

If as you read this, you find yourself thinking,
“I want to understand this more clearly,” or
“I want to be sure I’m reading Scripture rightly,”
you don’t have to walk that path alone.

Faith mentoring is available through Life & Peace Ministries for moms who want to sit with God’s Word, ask honest questions, and let truth settle into confidence.

These are unhurried conversations where we open the Bible together, look carefully at what God says, and allow Scripture to bring clarity, assurance, and peace.

There is no fixing.
No measuring.
No pressure to perform.

Just space to listen, learn, and grow steady in truth.
