Judas preached, anointed the sick with oil, and cast out devils just like the other disciples when Jesus sent them out in pairs (Mark 6:7,12-13). In spite of his good deeds, his heart still wasn’t right with
God. He was posing as a disciple, but was a total faker waiting for the right moment to bring Jesus down.
Despite his notorious role in the Bible Stories, Judas remains a controversial figure in Christian history. Judas' betrayal, for instance, is seen as setting in motion the events that led to Jesus' Crucifixion and Resurrection, which, according to traditional Christian theology, brought salvation to humanity.
An outward show of loyalty to Jesus is meaningless unless we (Christians) also follow Christ in our heart. Satan and the world will try to get us (Christians) to betray Jesus, so we must ask the Holy Spirit for help in resisting them.
