How do we know we are among Jesus' sheep?

In John 10:27, Jesus indicates that His sheep are identifiable by their ability to hear His voice and follow Him. This denotes a personal and transformative relationship wherein the believer responds to Christ's call through faith. The Scriptures affirm that true belief is a gift of grace, indicating that those who genuinely belong to Him will respond with obedience and affection. The Apostle Paul reinforces this in Romans, stating that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Therefore, the assurance of being one of His sheep is found in our response to the gospel and our commitment to follow Him forth.
