Jesus Christ passed by where Zacchaeus lived.He was so short he couldn't see Jesus Christ for the people about him so he climbed up a tree.Jesus Christ told him to come down because He would eat with Him that day.Jesus Christ told Zacchaeus that He came to seek and save that which was lost.
Our saviour is seeking saviour.Nearly 2018 years after this conversion Jesus Christ is still seeking and saving lost sinners.
Let us notice that salvation is Decision
- Convection
- Confession
- Conversion
CONVECTION
To convict means to convince.It further means the Holy Spirit makes people own up their sins,Jesus Christ save ,draw them to received Jesus.
He convicts of sin,righteousness and judgement .He draw all men to the father.Felix is an example of conviction.Act 24:25
CONFESSION
When a lost person is under conviction,the spirit leads him to repentance of sin and confession of sin.Repentance is a timeless-message .
Matthew 3:2
"And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
God command all to repent .God want to forgive all men of their sins ,but man must ask for forgiveness.
Ephesians 1:7
"In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace"
CONVERSION
Many came out to John and confessed their sins and were baptized.Matthew 3:6
Paul is an example of true conversion .Paul writes that the save are new creatures in Christ Jesus.
II Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new"
Salvation is a true decision making.
