THE WORDS OF TRUTH DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Mar 3rd, 2026
𝕋𝕀𝕋𝕃𝔼:
AND WE HAVE SEEN AND DO TESTIFY THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT HIS SON AS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD!
KEY VERSE
“And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.” — 1 John 4:14 (KJV)
DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
The Apostle John writes with the confidence of one who walked with Christ, heard Him speak, saw His miracles, and witnessed His resurrection glory. His testimony is not theoretical; it is experiential. John says, “We have seen”, that is revelation; “and do testify”, that is responsibility.
At the center of the Christian faith is not a philosophy, not a prophet, not a moral code, but a Person, Jesus Christ, sent by the Father as the only Savior of the world. Humanity’s deepest problem, sin, is beyond human effort, government reforms, education, or religion. Only a divine Savior can provide a divine solution.
To confess that Jesus is Savior is to acknowledge that:
- We cannot save ourselves.
- Salvation is a gift of God’s love.
- The cross is God’s greatest statement of grace.
- Jesus is the exclusive and sufficient Redeemer.
The world may offer alternatives, but heaven offers only one name by which we must be saved, Jesus Christ. The apostles saw Him; today we believe Him by the Spirit. Their testimony becomes our inheritance, our conviction, and our message to a dying world.
BIBLICAL OBJECTIVES OF THIS TRUTH
To affirm Jesus Christ as the only Savior sent by the Father.
To cultivate boldness to testify about Christ to others.
To deepen assurance of salvation through the finished work of Christ.
To strengthen faith in the love of God demonstrated in sending His Son.
To build a lifestyle centered on Christ, not self.
To encourage believers to walk in truth and reject false doctrines.
To inspire gratitude for the mercy and grace of God.
To reveal the universal offer of salvation to all nations and peoples.
To lead believers to reflect God’s love as Christ’s ambassadors.
To remind Christians of the urgency of evangelism in a dying world.
CHARACTERISTICS OF JESUS THE SAVIOR
He is the Lamb of God – John 1:29
He is the Light of the World – John 8:12
He is the Good Shepherd – John 10:11
He is the Resurrection and the Life – John 11:25
He is the Bread of Life – John 6:35
He is the Mediator between God and man – 1 Timothy 2:5

ILLUSTRATIONS
1. THE RESCUER AND THE DROWNING MAN
A man was drowning far from shore. Many shouted instructions from land, “Swim harder!” “Kick your legs!”, but he was too weak. Then a trained rescuer dove in, risked his life, reached the man, and carried him safely to land.
Lesson:
Humanity is the drowning man. Religion gives instructions but cannot save. Only Jesus, the Savior sent by the Father, can rescue us from the depths of sin.
2. THE BROKEN VESSEL AND THE MASTER ARTISAN
A priceless clay vessel fell and shattered. Many said it was useless. But the master craftsman gently gathered every piece and skillfully restored it to greater beauty than before.
Lesson:
Sin shatters lives, but Jesus, sent by the Father, restores, redeems, and gives new life. He alone can make broken people whole.
CALL TO REPENTANCE
Beloved, if Jesus truly is the Savior of the world, then we must face the truth about our condition. Sin separates. Pride blinds. Delay destroys. The Father sent His Son to save, but the saved are those who repent.
Come to Him today. Turn from sin. Let the Savior do what only He can do.
DEEP REPENTANCE
Deep repentance means acknowledging:
- My sin is real.
- My efforts cannot save me.
- Only the blood of Jesus can wash me.
- I surrender my will, desires, and past to Christ.
It is a turning not only from sin but to the Savior.
PRAYER OF REPENTANCE
Lord Jesus,
I acknowledge that You were sent by the Father to be the Savior of the world, and my Savior. I confess my sins and turn from them. Wash me by Your blood, renew my heart, and give me new life. I receive Your forgiveness and declare You as my Lord forever.
Amen.

HYMN
To God Be the Glory
Fanny J. Crosby (1875)
A powerful hymn declaring God’s love in sending His Son, and salvation freely offered to all who believe.
1. To God be the glory, great things He hath done,
so loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
and opened the life-gate that all may go in.
Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
and give Him the glory, great things He hath done.
2. O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
to ev'ry believer the promise of God;
the vilest offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
3. Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
but purer, and higher, and greater will be
our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.
