22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”
John 10:22–30. ESV
Here are four insights about Christ’s true blue believers.
1. Christ’s words are received as true.
2. Christ’s works are received as a witness to Christ’s identity.
3. Christ’s people follow Him.
4. Christ’s people are secure in Him.
Points to ponder:
- It may be disheartening to true believers, but it must be accepted that there are counterfeit believers.
- God wants His people to know that they are secure in Him.
- God gives us a lot of evidence about His existence and His Son’s identity.
- God is not going to let His people perish.
- Would you like to come into a relationship with God through Christ?
Connection Prayer: Lord, please help me surrender to you and place my faith in you. Give me a hunger and thirst for you. I want to thank you for your light, life, love, and your truth. I now, with what faith I have, confess that you Jesus died on the cross for my sins, were buried, and rose from the dead on the third day. I take you as my Savior, Lord, and Leader. Please forgive me of my sins and thank you for your forgiveness. Help me to follow you all the days of my life. Amen.
Next steps for the new believer:
- If you prayed the connection prayer with me:
- Pick up a new believer pack as you leave.
- Read John 3, three times before you go to bed tonight.
- Read the gospel of John all the way through by reading about ten verses a day.
Next steps for the believer:
- This week review the sermon notes at least twice.
- Read John 10 at least twice this week.
- Pick a verse out of John 10 and memorize it.
- Here is a thought provoking question; “If you were to die today do you know for sure you are going to heaven?”
- If you answered yes then answer the “why” for your assurance. If not, then answer the “why” for the lack of assurance.
