My prayer on this post…. Lord please let this Scripture fall on deep good soil. Amen!
John 10:1 to 5. 1. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Let us get to the PORTER first. The PORTER is your CONSCIENCE! Your conscience will determine if you ENTER by the DOOR (Jesus) or not! Not a SINGLE person will enter by the door with a guilty conscience! It is only the people with a PURE CONSCIENCE, that will have the BOLDNESS to ENTER BY THE DOOR! Some others will enter like thief and robber, but they will NOT stay with Him.
It is only the PURE HEARTS, that does God’s laws, that will enter in the DOOR! Hebrews 10 says… HE HAS PUT HIS LAWS ON THEIR HEARTS, AND WROTE IT ON THEIR MINDS. And they will enter into the HOLIEST with BOLDENSS and LIBERTY….. Also God says they will have BOLDNESS on judgment day for AS HE IS SO ARE THEY IN THIS WORLD… HIS LOVE IN THEM WAS MADE PERFECT! (That is how they are like HIM)
The SHEEP knows His voice, because HE KEPT THEM ON THE NARROW WAY…. Like this HE DID IT…Is 30:21… And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
So God will keep them on HIS WAY. The ones that knows not His voice WILL NOT FOLLOW HIM.
Not only does the sheep know Him, HE KNOWS THEM, for they SIN NOT (work not iniquity) He CALLS them by their NAME! The thief and robber, he would say… Go away from me I have NEVER known you, you that work the iniquity (SIN). Despite then saying… but Jesus you died for my sin… Nothing they say will make them sheep. They are STRANGERS! Jesus is as much a stranger to them, as they are for HIM!
Here is the thing about God and our conscience…. God says… If our heart condemn us, He is greater than our heart. And because it is the JOB of the Holy Spirit to LEAD and convince all God’s people of the sin, HE WILL CLEANSE FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS! There will remain NO SIN untouched, the heart will be PURE even BEFORE GOD! The CONSCIENCE of the sheep is AS PURE AS HE IS… Every one that has this HOPE in him PURIFIETH HIMSELF even as HE IS PURE… 1 John 3:3.
Look how well the SHEEP knoweth HIM…. And how the others DO NOT KNOW HIM… Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Note the SHEEP ABIDE WITH HIM, but NOT THE ROBBER AND THE THIEF, THE STRANGERS DO NOT ABIDE IN HIM…
Amen!
