The Shepherd’s Voice

In the previous blog, I ended by talking about hearing the Shepherd’s voice. This is the evidence that the Shepherd — Jesus Christ — has opened our ears to believe the gospel.

The way God has arranged for people to be saved from sin and judgment and hell is by hearing the true gospel and believing it. God enables His sheep, like Nicodemus, to savingly hear His voice in the gospel call and to respond with obedience.

In John 10:27, Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” Jesus says you and I come into this world as sinners and our sin has separated us from the blessing of God. But God sent His Son to die for the sins of all who would ever believe on Him for salvation.

Those people who believe are called His sheep. He paid for their sins on the cross and they will come to Him because the Father draws them to Christ.

Has He drawn you to Christ? Have you obeyed the gospel by putting your trust for eternal life in Christ alone and are you following Him?

Hear the voice of Jesus in the gospel. You are a sinner; turn from your sin by putting your trust in Jesus and His finished work on the cross, believe that He died for your sin and that you must be clothed with His righteousness to enter heaven.

Believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. You will be saved (Romans 10:9).

Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

Have you heard the Shepherd’s voice?
