I do remember when I was saved. My foster family and I started going to a new church,(this was over 20 years ago) and I felt led by the pastor to give my life to Jesus. I had been through a lot at that point in my life. I had a traumatic event happen with my birth family, and I guess I was angry at God for a long time because of that. This new foster family I was living with were Christian, and found this new church, so we went, and during one of the sermons, I gave my life to Jesus.

Honestly, the reason I am asking this question is because I am fearful of it happening to me. I fully believe in what Jesus did on the cross for me and for everyone, but I am just very afraid, because some people have different answers to how you get saved or keep being saved. I have backslid before, and I am back to God again, but now I am having a lot of fears. I do not want to be separated from God, and I am scared that He is not here with me anymore.

Yes, it should. Abortion is a terrible procedure that brutally kills an innocent unborn child. Even in the case of incest/rape, that unborn child should not suffer because of a crime committed by someone else. Adoption is a wonderful alternative for birth mothers who can not raise their child, but killing them should not be an option. The case of the mother's life being at risk due to the baby is extremely rare, as most women decide to get abortions due to the baby being an inconvenience.

Thank you everyone for sharing your perspectives. It's interesting to know everyone's experience with the show.

I have struggled with both anxiety and depression for such a long time, and even now as a Christian, I still do. It's honestly been one of the hardest struggles that I am currently going through. I recently just came back to my faith, (I have walked away for a few years), and even now, I still sometimes do not feel the presence of God. I just desperately want Jesus to help me, but I feel so unworthy of anything good. Days that I struggle with sin, I feel very bad, and it's so hard to pray during those times. I'm always hoping that I can grow in my faith and learn to trust God more, but it's very difficult sometimes. I also understand leaning on faith and not feelings is important, but that can be hard sometimes as well. Anyway, I just wanted to share my struggle, as I'm sure many people deal with this as well.

Has anyone on here seen The Chosen? I have seen all 4 seasons so far, and I find it to be a very good show. It actually gave me a new perspective on Jesus, and how he cares so much for us. I know there are a lot of mixed feelings on the show, but for me, it helped me to want to get closer to God. There are some scenes in there with certain characters that I felt I could relate to, and it really moved me in that way.
