Proof Of Being SavedLuke 19:8-9 “And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.” Zacchaeus had to see Jesus for himself and didn’t mind climbing up in a tree to get a better look. But I have to wonder if he had thought that day that he was going to get more than just watching Jesus pass by? Jesus saw him and called him down from that tree (read Luke 19:1-7). That day Zacchaeus not only got to see Jesus, He got saved! Immediately we are able to see proof of his salvation. He promised to give half of all he had to the poor and all those he had taken more from as a tax collector than he should have, he went back and gave them fourfold. It is amazing what the presence of God will do in a person’s heart when they are truly saved! Zacchaeus knew he had stolen from and cheated people and he wanted to make restitution for his wrongs toward others. I would say that was pretty good proof that Zacchaeus got saved. Can you imagine what each one thought when Zacchaeus showed up and this time he was not taking from them but apologizing and giving to them fourfold what he stole from them! What proof do people see in you that you are a Christian?
