John 11:25-26
Jesus said to (Martha), “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

That wonderful proclamation of the Lord Jesus testified to the fact that death was to be conquered by the Father's gift of His Son. Even then as He spoke to Martha, the sister of Lazarus her brother who had been lying in the tomb for four days, that curse of death brought on by Adam's sin in the Garden could not stand before the upcoming work of sinless Jesus on the cross.
 
Jesus had said to Martha and Mary when they sent word of their brother Lazarus' death, “this sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it." {Jn.11:4} God is always at work both to will and to work for His good pleasure! {Php.2:13} And it did indeed bring Him glory.
 
Jesus had purposely waited before leaving to go to the tomb where Lazarus had been laid and was now four days dead. He was right on time—He is never late! As a famous old baseball player for the New York Yankees, Yogi Berra, once said, 'It ain't over until it's over.' If you need a touch from the Lord, just remember, it ain't over yet! And remember the question that Jesus asked Martha; "Do you believe this?” It is THE question we all have to answer!

Jesus said to Nicodemus the Pharisee that he, and all of us, must be born again. {Jn.3:3} A life that is immortal and real is something that only the Lord God can provide. It is the gift of everlasting life that is filled with the reality and the joy of being with Him for all time. Otherwise what pretends to be life will only be a poor imitation and will come to a horrid end.

"This I recall to my mind; therefore I have hope. The Lord’s (YHWH) loving kindness indeed never cease, for His compassion never fails. They are new every morning; Great is Thy faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:21-23)
 
SALVATION IS THE FREE GIFT OF GOD PAID FOR BY JESUS AT CALVARY
