Martha, talking with Jesus in John chapter eleven said, ““Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.” The verb believed in the Greek is perfect tense signifying belief at a point and time in the past with a fixed, settle faith in the present. In her statement she is saying that at a specific point in the past she had accepted Jesus as the promised Messiah, her personal savior. This is the most important event in all of life that we should remember. The event when we by faith prayed and ask Jesus Christ into our hearts to be our personal savior. Knowing that He alone can forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Every person reading this devotion should have a personal testimony of when this spiritual new birth took place in their heart. Jesus said to Martha, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” Can you claim this promise of God? Will you pass from this life at the point of death and enter into Heaven?
