EP 1//What It Truly Means to Be Saved According to the Bible

🎙️ What It Truly Means to Be Saved According to the Bible

Many faithful moms quietly wrestle with questions like: “I believe in Jesus… so why doesn’t my faith feel confident?” “How can I teach my child faith when I still struggle with assurance myself?” In this episode of Faith Mom Mentor, we anchor ourselves in Scripture to explore what it truly means to be saved according to the Bible—and how that truth brings peace to your heart and stability to your parenting. This conversation is not about trying harder or doing more. It’s about assurance—knowing what God has done and resting in it.

✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why the greatest struggle in faith and parenting is often assurance, not effort
• What Jesus meant when He warned about assumed faith vs. true relationship (Matthew 7:21–23)
• Why salvation begins with God’s mercy, not our performance
• How Scripture clearly defines salvation as a gift, not a reward
• What it means to be united with Christ through His death, burial, and resurrection
• How assurance in salvation shapes your thoughts, feelings, actions—and your home
• A simple faith declaration to return to in moments of pressure or uncertainty

💡 A Simple Faith Step for Today

When pressure rises, doubts creep in, or you feel unsure—pause and quietly remind yourself:

“Jesus, You died for me. You were raised for me. I am united to You by God through Your death, burial, and resurrection. For by grace, I am saved through faith—it is the gift of God.”

Let that truth guide how you respond to your child, your stress, and yourself.
