A lot of people wonder: What if I believe in Jesus but struggle to fully change due to trauma, addiction, or mental health struggles? Am I still saved?
The Bible is clear: Justification comes by faith in Jesus, not by our ability to perfectly repent (μετάνοια, metanoia). Even when we are weak, His grace is enough.
🔹 Romans 3:28 – “For we maintain that an individual is justified by faith distinctly apart from the works of the Law.”
🔹 Romans 5:8-9 – “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us… having now been justified by His blood.”
🔹 Philippians 1:6 – “He who began a good work in you will perfect and complete it.”
Even Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament, admitted:
🗣️ “For I do not practice what I want to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate... Who will rescue me? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ!” (Romans 7:15, 24-25)
✝️ Your salvation is not based on how perfect your repentance is—it is based on Jesus' finished work on the cross. If you trust in Him, you are still justified, still covered by His blood, and He will not abandon you.
God is patient. He knows your struggles. And He is still working in you. You are His child, and you are loved. ❤️
