I recently was Saved from my life of sin and I am very happy for that. During my first week of being Saved, I wanted to talk to my pastor at church constantly and I talked to the church members constantly also about being Saved and God. I also listened to gospel music all day and just had joy in my heart 24/7. Lately, I haven't been calling the pastor and church members at all. I still listen to my gospel music, but not as much as I used to. I can't imagine going back to the life that I used to live, but it scares me to know that I'm not as excited and into being Saved as I used to be. Am I doing something wrong or has anybody else had this problem too?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Am I still Saved?

usually, when someone gets saved, they're excessively excited. then, the excitement wears down a little. i think that's pretty normal. "happiness" is just an emotion, that can be changed by chemicals in our brain. jesus, on the other hand, gives us joy. that doesn't necessarily mean we're going to be giddy happy all the time. this doesn't mean you're not saved. just stick with it, and don't base your faith on your emotions. emotions are deceiving. anyway...congratulations on making the decision to give your life to Christ. that's really awesome!

Hey, the same thing happened to me. It's like being in love. At first, it's all you can think of, then you have to get back to normal life, but you still are in love.
You're still saved, that's not going to change no matter how you "feel," because being saved is an act of God, not a work of man. So, even when you feel like God is no where to be seen, and feel like maybe you screwed up too much for him to love you anymore, He is still going to be there, and you are still going to be saved!
Cool, huh?

hi, keep on going and ask the holy spirit to guide you, and pray hard at all times. Just like me when i was first in love with the Lord i even can't sleep, just thinking about him, Just read your bible daily even one chapter a day, and pray anywhere you are or just praised him in seconds, you are in the right path of life.

a long journey ahead
just don't let emotions dictate your dedication in Him. 
as jkoxp has quoted, He'll never forsake us. He'll never turn away one who seeks Him earnestly.

You will have your ups and your downs. Sometimes you will be strong as a rock and other times soft as melted butter. Christianty is not an easy path but when you keep in mind what it is you are struggling for it gives you what you need to keep your eye focus in on that narrow gate. Just remember that when you are feeling low or drowning in sin that your brothers and sisters in Christ have had the same temptations. It ok if you fall down from time to time but the most important thing is to remember to get back up and not stay down.
1Tim 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
2Tim 4: 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I
have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give
me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also
that love his appearing.

Dear Brother in Christ,
I know that at times it gets hard, but remember, Jesus is the good shepard, he will not let you be taken out of his hand! Is suggest read the gospel of John, I find it really refreshing to read of Christ works over and over and over! I am also reading the Old Testament, and it is helpfull, to read of God who creates the world and then turns to that he created and shows love to it and later, the ultimate love of sacrifice.
