Misconceptions About Salvation 

#13 "Give your heart to God for salvation." 

The cause of this misconception is the failure to realize that salvation is not about giving something to God, rather it is taking and receiving from Him. Not give but take!

It is not "For God so loved the world that whoever gives his heart to God shall not perish but have eternal life."

No, rather it is "For God so loved the world that He gave His very heart (His one and only Son) that whoever receives Him (trusts in Him) shall not perish but have eternal life."
