So they didn’t offer any sacrifice, they simply died to have a better life.When believers die, they leave this life and they enter a far better life, eternal life. If someone kills them they simply go to that far better life sooner. See Philippians 1:19-26; Wisdom 4:7-19.
If that was the work of God why there was any need for martyrs? The martyrs were in fact the reason for that social movement.Christians have reason to believe that there are no coincidences but rather that God is intimately involved with everything that happens, divine providence. St Paul said, “We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28) Jesus said, “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.” (Matthew 10:29-30)
