What does being saved mean in the context of John 10?

Answered in 1 source

Being saved means entering into a relationship with Christ, the Door, who provides eternal life.

In the context of John 10, being saved involves entering through Jesus, the Door, and gaining access to eternal life and spiritual sustenance. The phrase 'he shall go in and out, and find pasture' (John 10:9) signifies not just an initial act of belief but an ongoing relationship characterized by spiritual nourishment and safety. The pasture symbolizes the abundant life that believers experience, thriving through their connection with Christ and His Word. This reflects the picture of a shepherd who provides for his sheep, illustrating that salvation is not merely a ticket to heaven but an invitation to live in the fullness of life that Christ offers here and now, which will culminate in eternal glory.
