What does the Bible say about salvation coming to Zacchaeus?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible tells us that salvation came to Zacchaeus when Jesus called him down from the tree and decided to abide at his house (Luke 19:10).
In Luke 19:1-10, we find the story of Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector who was rich but spiritually blind. When Jesus passed through Jericho, he called Zacchaeus by name, saying, 'Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house' (Luke 19:5). This signifies that salvation is not based on human merit or effort but is a sovereign act of God’s grace. Zacchaeus did not climb the tree with the intent to be saved; he merely wanted to see Jesus. However, Jesus came to him, illustrating how God seeks the lost and calls them to Himself. Salvation is coming to one who is deemed unworthy, affirming that Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10).
