Judas Iscariot sold Jesus. Afterwards, he realized what he had done and repented. He returned the thirty pieces of silver to the priests and elders and cried, "I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood." But Judas Iscariot's repentance could not lead him to salvation. For a very long time, like Judas Iscariot, I too regretted and repented of the sins I had committed. Everyday I said, "God, I lied. I stole. I hated someone," and I continually repeated such regret and repentance. However, I could not become freed from sin.
