A reminder: The sin of Judas Iscariot was not just betraying Jesus. He began by stealing from the offering bag. One sin calls another... So it can happen to us! When we give in to a sin, we open doors to practice others equally worse...
On the occasion that Mary of Bethany poured the ointment at Jesus' feet, Iscariot said:
John 12
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, who was to betray him, said:
5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?
6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had a purse, and took what was thrown into it.
7 Jesus therefore said, Let her alone; for the day of my burial he kept this;
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.

John 10:1-42
1 Truly, truly, I say to you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 But he who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his sheep by name, and leads them out.
4 And when he brings out his sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5 But they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.
6 Jesus told them this parable; but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
7 Jesus therefore said to them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not listen to them.
9 I am the door; if anyone enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief comes only to steal, to kill, and to destroy; I came that they might have life, and have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12 But the hired hand, and he who is not a shepherd, whose sheep do not belong, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters the sheep.
13 Now the hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and has not cared for the sheep.
14 I am the good Shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knows me, so I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I also need to add these, and they will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock and one Shepherd.
17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life to take it up again.
18 No one takes it from me, but I give it from myself; I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it back. This command I received from my Father.
19 So there was division again among the Jews because of these words.
20 And many of them said, He has a devil, and is out of his mind; why do you hear it?
21 Others said, These are not the words of a demon-possessed man. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 And in Jerusalem was the feast of dedication, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.
24 Then the Jews surrounded him, and said to him, How long will you keep our soul in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us so openly.
25 Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye believe not. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify of me.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep, as I told you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and the Father are one.
31 Then the Jews again picked up stones to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father; for which of these works do you stone me?
33 The Jews answered, saying to him, We did not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy; because, being a man, you make yourself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 For if the law called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken,
36 “Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, you say, Do you blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 But if I do them, and you do not believe me, believe the works; that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in him.
39 So they sought to take him again, but he escaped out of their hands,
40 And he withdrew again beyond Jordan to the place where John had first baptized; and there he stayed.
41 And many came to him, and said, Indeed, John did no sign, but all that John said of him was true.
42 And many there believed in him.

ROMANS 1:17 THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH!
He who is justified by faith in Jesus Christ lives by that same faith. She is the engine that drives him to live. Sometimes we get discouraged when we look at the things around us that weaken our faith.
No one is exempt from experiencing
hard times in life, but faith in the Lord makes us carry on. It works on our behalf to the point of developing our character and outlook on life.
Even with difficult situations in life, the challenge is to remain trusting in the Lord and that our faith is proof of a true relationship with the true God.
For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, a righteousness which from first to last is by faith, as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."
Romans 1:17
It is evident that before God no one is justified by the Law, for "the just shall live by faith."
Galatians 3:11
but my fair
will live by faith.
And if you go back
I will not be pleased with him."
Hebrews 10:38
"Write: The wicked is puffed up;
his desires are not good;
but the righteous shall live
for your faithfulness.
Habakkuk 2:4
Because we live by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7
The Law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "whoever does these things will live by them."
Galatians 3:12
I have been crucified with Christ. Thus, it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20
Now faith is the certainty of what we hope for and the proof of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1
What is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith.
1 John 5:4
"Go," said Jesus, "his faith has healed him." Immediately he regained his sight and followed Jesus along the way.
Mark 10:52

LOVER WILL NEVER BE A GIFT FROM GOD!
Adultery is a sin. Those who practice this act are opposing the will of God. Tampering means breaking the vow that is made during marriage, unfaithfulness.
Whoever commits adultery is disobeying a commandment of God. When two people unite in marriage, they do so not only before men, but before God.
"Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Exodus 20:14
But the man who commits adultery
he has no sense;
everyone who does that
destroys itself.
Proverbs 6:32
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you, Everyone who looks at a woman and lusts after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Matthew 5:27-28
Now, the works of the flesh are manifest: sexual immorality, impurity and licentiousness; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before: Those who practice these things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19-21
"Do not lie with your neighbor's wife and defile yourself with her.
Leviticus 18:20
Marriage must be honored by all; the conjugal bed, kept pure; for God will judge the immoral and adulterers.
Hebrews 13:4
For the lips of the immoral woman
distill honey,
her voice is smoother than oil; but in the end it is bitter as gall,
sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet descend to death;
her steps lead straight
to the grave. She doesn't even notice that she walks
by crooked ways
and she does not see the path of life. Now then, my son, listen to me;
he does not deviate from my words. Stay away from this woman;
do not approach the door of your house, lest you give it to others
your vigor
nor your life to some cruel man,
Proverbs 5:3-9
But I say that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, causes her to become an adulteress, and whoever marries the divorced woman commits adultery.
Matthew 5:32
He replied, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."
Mark 10:11-12
"If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, with his neighbor's wife, both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.
Leviticus 20:10
Loving gazelle, graceful doe;
that your wife's breasts
always fill you with pleasure,
and always intoxicate him with her caresses. Why, my son, be misled
by the immoral woman?
Why embrace the bosom of a frivolous woman?
Proverbs 5:19-20
"Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Luke 16:18
and they said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law, Moses commands us to stone such women. And what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and began writing on the ground with his finger. As they continued to question him, he got up and said to them, "If any of you is without sin, be the first to throw a stone at her." He bent down again and continued writing on the floor. Those who heard him left, one at a time, starting with the oldest. Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing before him. Then Jesus stood up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, Sir," she said.
She declared to Jesus, "Neither do I condemn you. Now go and turn from your life of sin."
John 8:4-11
Adulterers, do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Anyone who wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
James 4:4
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false witness and slander.
Matthew 15:19
Therefore I say: Live by the Spirit, and you will by no means gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit; the Spirit, which is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so you don't do what you want.
Galatians 5:16-17
I've given her time to repent of her sexual immorality, but she doesn't want to. Therefore, I will make her sick and bring great suffering to those who commit adultery with her, unless they repent of the works she does.
Revelation 2:21-22
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins that someone commits, outside the body he commits them; but whoever sins sexually sins against his own body.
1 Corinthians 6:18
