When we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, we have died to our old self. Then, by the power of the blood of the cross, our sins were completely forgiven, we were saved and made righteous by faith. We died to sins and already died to this world. Because we have been crucified with Christ.
Martyrs lived in this truth and completed their lives on earth as foreigners and strangers. Their death wasn’t defeat but victory.
Just as the Scripture says, it produced abundant fruits when they fell down on the earth and died. That death will bear more fruits from now, too. They became seeds of revival and overwhelming victors.
"All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance,admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.” (NIV Hebrews 11:13)
