What does the Bible say about being a good mother?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible presents motherhood as a God-given calling to love, nurture, teach, and faithfully serve children in dependence on his grace. Children are a heritage from the Lord, as Psalm 127:3 says, and parents are charged in Deuteronomy 6:5-9 to impress God’s words upon them through daily life. Proverbs 22:6 commends intentional training, while Proverbs 31 portrays wise, diligent, compassionate care for a household. Titus 2:5 likewise honors love for family joined with self-control and purity. Yet a mother’s worth is not earned by flawless performance: God forms each child for his purposes, as Jeremiah 1:5 reminds us, and he supplies mercy and strength for faithful obedience.
