How can a person determine whether they are one of the sheep cared for by Jesus?
A person becomes a sheep when they confess they are a sinner and ask forgiveness of Jesus Christ. God sent Jesus to defeat the power of sin and remove the punishment for sin. When God's people confess their sins, God will forgive them. In Psalm 23 it says, "The Lord is my Shepherd." So that makes me a sheep of his flock in Jesus name. Amen!

The bible says that if we confess withour mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe inour heart that God raised him from the dead, we are saaved. It is then a lifelong journey of reading the bible, meeting with other Christians, and prayer, along with confessing our sins, and doing our best to repent, and following Jesus' commands. that makes us one of His sheep.

How can a person determine whether they are one of the sheep cared for by Jesus?

This is a very difficult question, one which I did not expect in this program.

I personally cannot determne whether I belong to Jesus, but Jesus knows.  Whenever He feels like letting me know, He will let me know.

He has let me know.   I have been made aware, and I am His.  He is mine.

It is a wonder, but I am sealed.  He who would have me has called for me, but his voice was empty because he has corruption within him and within himself.  He is the chief of liars.  He crawls about in his darkness  dragging his tail that he may cut the trees and scar the mountains.

 I know nothing of myself.  He who does, does not know me.  I am a stranger in the night, but the forest knows me well.  I do go out when the winds are still and the quietness makes the earth quake from its gift which comes to gifts.

I was dragged crawling and crying from the tribes.  They were truly strangers to Jakob and strangers to Paul, but God knew them for they shook the peace within Him.  God nudged me from them, and the woman covered my feet so they would smell as natives' of the tent.  Amen.

A person can determine whether he/she is one of the sheep cared for by Jesus by accepting Jesus as his/her Saviour and be born again.

I believe one can determine whether they are one of the sheep cared for by Jesus just by looking at the life style that he leads.  God gave His commandments to us and we obey them to the best of our ability. What we disobey, we repent & ask for forgiveness. It is true that some of us are so poor that we cannot feed ourselves but if we repent of our sins, ask God for help, how can He deny us. He said that if He feeds the birds of the air, how can He neglect us. Once we follow His teachings, we can assure that we are one of the sheep cared for by Jesus.  If we stray, He gently calls us back.

Going through the world today, one would see all kind of religions, churches and mosques all in the name of God or Allah. But, Jesus said by their seeds you shall know them. Therefore, it is very easy to determine either of these believers are of the Christ or not. Because, who is of the Christ must obey the word of His father - God or Allah.

What is Jesus try to say here is not well clear to me. He said: "All whom came before me are thieves and robbers". Does it mean that all Prophets before Christ - Elijah, Elisha, Amos, Moses, Dafid, John the Baptist are fake? Please, I need good explanation on this statement.

This is simple, if a person confesses his/her sins and repent, Then believe and do God`s will, that perons is one f the sheep cared for by Jesus.

The second part is,those who believe in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, God has anointed them with His Holy Spirits. That is a witness that confirms that that particular soul is cared for by God.

I cnclude, one who listens To His Voice and Act on that Voice and have Faith in His only Son of God is one of the sheep  cared fo by Jesus.

The Shepherd and His Flock

"Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn't enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don't know the voice of strangers." Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn't understand what he was telling them.
Jesus therefore said to them again, "Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture. The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn't own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them. The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn't care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I'm known by my own; even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd. Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."
Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words. Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?" Others said, "These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn't possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?"
