Salvation is not giving your life to Christ, but believing He gave his life for you believing in your heart that he died for your sins and He will make your heart new
Salvation is coming to Christ as guilty and undone with nothing to offer or give but by accepting his free gift of mercy you can become God's child and eternally live
Salvation is being born again by believing on His name The name of Jesus will regenerate your spirit and you'll never again be the same
Salvation is believing that Jesus died on the cross and he rose again the third day to save you knowing to call upon his name and trust in him is the only thing you can do
Salvation is only through faith in Christ's name alone, don't let Satan throw you a curve After you've received this free gift of His mercy, then you can surrender to serve
John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Roman 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
'...SALVATION IS NOT GIVING YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST, BUT BELIEVING THAT HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR YOU...' AND 'AFTER YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS FREE GIFT OF MERCY, THEN YOU CAN SURRENDER TO SERVE'. WELL SAID AND SO TRUE! THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...

Well said, Cindy, because it's "not by works of righteousness that we have done" I love the song "Jesus Paid It All," which also explains so well in the chorus what Jesus did..."Jesus paid it all; All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow."
I have heard it described as "transferring your trust from yourself to Jesus Christ."
I like that you end your poem with surrendering to serve--it's the natural response to receiving Christ as your own.
Keep up your good witness, serving Him with your words!
