In John 11:40 Jesus said to Martha “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” The Hebrew word for faith is “emunah” which means “to believe” and “to act” on that belief. If you placed this definition in what the Messiah said to Martha it would be similar to this: “Didn't I tell you that if you “believe” and “act” you will see the glory of God?” This is the basis of faith, which is rooted in faith and action.
