How do we know true shepherds from false ones?

Answered in 1 source

True shepherds are those who enter by the door, which is Christ, and teach the truth of the Gospel.

In the context of scripture, true shepherds are identified by their relationship with Christ, who is the door of the sheep. Jesus emphasizes in John 10:2-3 that the true shepherd is recognized by those who hear his voice. A faithful pastor will guide his congregation according to the truth of God's Word, providing genuine knowledge and understanding rather than leading them into error. To discern true shepherds from false ones, believers must be rooted in scripture, testing every spirit against the truth of God's Word, as outlined in 1 John 4:1.
