Thomas went from skeptic to martyr for the faith. His eye-witness evidence, along with the rest of the apostles gives us confidence in the reality of the resurrection.
Faith is not believing something contrary to the evidence. In fact, to disbelieve in the resurrection is to believe contrary to all the evidence. Christ's death and resurrection was a publicly witnessed historical event. This gives us great confidence to live our lives, entrusting them to Christ in all things.
