When I read the story about Zacchaeus the chief tax collector, I was wondering and judging why Zacchaeus only gave half of his possessions to the poor (not all of his possessions), and Jesus said he got salvation. In Luke 18, however, Jesus asked the rich young man to sell everything he had and gave to the poor to inherit eternal life.
Now I know that Zacchaeus got salvation is because he has faith in Jesus. Getting salvation is not about how many possessions we should give, but salvation is free gift from God, and it depends on whether we believe and trust in the Lord Jesus and want to have relationship with him. Of course, when we have relationship with God, God will lead us on how to use our possessions in a wise way.
