²⁵Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:	²⁶And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?	²⁷She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

Martha tells Jesus, “Lord, I have come to believe”, or “Lord I now believe” -- implying that belief for her did not happen all at once. But sometimes other Christians ask us “Have you been saved? Why not invite Jesus into your heart today?” as if believing in Jesus happens all at once. Whether it was an all-at-once or a gradually-over-time experience, what was “coming to believe” like for you?

That story is called your “witness”, or “testimony”. It's that story that gives you personal experience to share as “good news” when you go out into the world and share the good news of Jesus. What experience have you had of telling others about Jesus?
