Children of God are called to walk circumspectly to escape the traps of the wicked one. Judas was one of the twelve disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, who was put in charge of the treasury. Obviously, he was saved. Sent with the other disciples, Judas went to preach the gospel to sinners. He dined and travelled every where with Jesus, so one wonders how Satan was able to enter into him. 

The grace of God is unmerited or undeserved favour from God to man. This grace majorly does two things. Firstly, it brings salvation to sinners, translating them from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. Then secondly, it teaches believers how to overcome sinful tendencies and to live the life that is acceptable in the kingdom of God. The grace of God is not licentiousness.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. You can only judge the quality of something by tasting, trying or using it. The goodness of God can be experienced by all who come to put their trust in Him. In this verse of Scripture, David declares: "blessed is the man that trusts in him (the Lord)" and challenges us to confirm the veracity of his declaration by ourselves.  

The faith that works is the faith that does work. It is living, active and productive faith. Dormant faith on the other hand is dead and produces no result. That is the faith that says "I belive in God" or "I know God" but continues in disobedience to the word of God. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin - James 4:17. 

Who is your master; God or mammon? Those who serve and are controlled by mammon can do anything for the sake of making money. These are people who vow to make it at all cost, whether by lying, stealing or even killing. To them, it is right to work for the devil, provided that it generates income for them. Beware of the love of money and come out from the company of those bound by it.
