Where does it say Zacchaeus believed Jesus as his saviour?
He called him Lord
Luke 19:8-10
8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”
9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; 10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
He was the only one who sought Jesus here.
Luke 19:2-3
2 Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.
Isaiah 55:6-7
6 Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
Jesus called Zacchaeus by name, and then said, “I must stay at your house today.” Jesus called and saved Zacchaeus and then began a personal relationship with him.
And as a result we see what?
A changed man.
The change was not what saved him.
But it was the personal relationship aka Lord that saved him.
In fact under the law we find that Zacchaeus went beyond the law.
Under the law only 20% had to be given back.
He went beyond that.
