How do we know that Christ has other sheep?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's statement 'other sheep I have' indicates that He has a certain and established group of believers beyond the existing fold.

In John 10:16, Christ explicitly mentions 'other sheep I have which are not of this fold.' This reveals His assurance that there are additional believers who belong to Him, extending beyond the Jews to include Gentiles and future generations. The certainty of this claim is supported by the reality that Christ does not express uncertainty, stating instead, 'I have,' confirming that these sheep are already His by divine decree. This assures us that salvation is not contingent upon personal effort but is granted through God's sovereign will.
