The Sheepfold

by Madelein Wolfaardt

Buy the Poster for this Gospel message

John 10

In John 10:1-16 Jesus uses the comparison of a shepherd and sheep, He is the Shepherd and we are the sheep. The sheepfold refers to God’s kingdom and the sheep that are outside refer to people that have not yet been saved and have not yet entered the kingdom of God.

In the infographic you can see the lost sheep in the distance outside of the sheepfold, we also read about this in Isaiah 53:6 “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way, and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

Thieves and robbers

John 10:1

In this verse, Jesus is saying that some sheep try to enter the sheepfold by other means than through the door. They try to climb over the wall and are therefore called thieves and robbers. This applies to people trying to enter God’s kingdom in other ways instead of the Only Way. Some examples of how people try to climb over the wall are through:
- Living good lives
- Doing charitable deeds
- Being active in church
- Living a moral life
- Attending Christian gatherings
- Reading their Bible
- Having ‘good’ or ‘spiritual’ friends
- Try to stop committing certain sins
- Start talking like a Christian

These things in themselves are good things to do BUT they will not save you. You cannot enter the kingdom of God by doing these things. You do not score points in life and then hopefully have enough points at the end to be let into heaven.

It is true that we ought to do good deeds after we are born again into the kingdom of God, but good deeds are an outflowing of salvation.

Entering In

John 10:9

Jesus is the Door to enter into the sheepfold. There’s only one way in and that is through Jesus. God loved the world so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus to die for the sin of the world (John 3:16). He paid for our sins by dying on the cross, and for this reason, we can be saved – through His blood that was shed.

Entering the sheepfold can only be done by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior through repentance of your sin.

The sheep that have entered the sheepfold in this way have the mark of Jesus’ blood in his heart. His sin has been forgiven and he has been made new. 2 Cor. 5:17  “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Surety of Salvation

Can you be sure that you are saved and that you will go to heaven? Let’s see what the Bible says: “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life,” 1 John 5:13.

Does this verse say that we can hope/ believe that we have eternal life? No! It clearly states that every person can have surety of salvation.

End

Do you have this surety? Are you a sheep that is trying to climb over the wall to get into the kingdom of God or have you entered in through the Door? Or are you one of those sheep that are still far away in the distance? God is calling you to Him for it is not His will that any man should perish but that all should repent.  2 Peter 3:9  “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

The Importance of Personal Soul Winning

by Dr. R. A. Torrey

"He first findeth his own brother Simon…. And he brought him to Jesus."–John 1:41,42. The one who brought his brother to Jesus was Andrew. We are not told that Andrew ever preached a sermon. If he did, the Holy Spirit did not think it worth putting on record. But this brother whom he brought to Jesus preached a sermon that led three thousand people to Jesus in one day.

Helps for new believers

Preparing Your Testimony

How To Give Your Testimony

Next to the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, your personal testimony is probably one of the most powerful ways to witness to someone. Yet many Christians do not know how to go about giving one. They know they are saved, but perhaps do not know how to tell someone else about how becoming a Christian has changed their life.

I want to testify

I am a new Christian

What do I do now?

Eternal life is a gift received from God by faith. You cannot buy it, you cannot earn it, neither can you work to keep it. It is all by grace. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9. However, there are certain things God expects from you now.

What must I do?

Ons moet God toelaat om in ons te werk. Hierdie voorbeelde wys ons dat dit moontlik is. Ons moet bid dat die Here ons harte en gedagtes sal verander en om aan ons te skaaf. Dit berei ons voor vir die werk wat Hy vir elkeen in gedagte het – om siele te win.

Luister na hierdie kragtige getuienis van redding. Wyle ds. Maloka was as baba verwerp en wees gelaat. Dit het vir die kind gelyk of daar geen hoop of toekoms vir hom sou wees nie totdat hy die Here Jesus ontmoet het. Hy het op die ou end 'n groot evangelis en prediker geword van sy tyd in Suid Afrika.

Faith and Repentance

by Prof. Johan Malan

In the New Testament doctrine on salvation there is a mutual relationship between the concepts of “faith in Christ” and “repentance”. If we truly believe in Christ, repenting from our evil and selfish ways is inevitable. Faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior can only be expressed by turning away from the spiritual darkness of sin and taking refuge in Him who alone is able to forgive our sins and save our souls.

Hoe sien God ons?

Deur Ds. N A J van Rensburg

1 Petrus 4:12-19 Teksvers: vers 18 “En as die regverdige nouliks gered word, waar sal die goddelose en die sondaar verskyn?” Die Bybel hou daarvan om die waarheid by wyse van kontras te stel omdat dit so ‘n kragtige wyse is wat die waarheid diep in die hart laat vasslaan. Twee dinge word langs mekaar gestel: die waarheid en die leuen; heiligheid en sonde; die hemel en die hel. Dit is wat ons teksvers doen, die regverdige word teenoor die goddelose gestel.

Stappe van redding uit die lewe van Saggeüs

deur Madelein Wolfaardt

Lukas 19:1-10 Hy was soekend, hy het besef dat hy iets kortkom ten spyte van al sy rykdom. Hy het moeite gedoen om Jesus te sien. Almal het hom geken en geweet wie hy was, as so 'n bekende ryk man moes dit hom gekos het om sy trots in sy sak te steek en homself te verneder – deur voor almal in die boom te klim. Hy het nie omgegee nie, hy móés Jesus sien!
