A good analogy of what happens when you get saved is in the book With Two Hands by Rebecca Davis.
In Ethiopia, when people get saved, they will raise their hands in the air. One hand stands for renouncing sin and evil, and the other stands for receiving Jesus into your heart. You turn away from your old, sinful self and turn to Jesus to make you clean. You can tell this wonderful message to everyone you see!
