What does it mean to be one of God's sheep?

Answered in 2 sources

Being one of God's sheep means belonging to Christ's fold, hearing His voice, and following Him faithfully.

In biblical terms, being one of God's sheep signifies an individual's relationship with Jesus as the Good Shepherd. This relationship is characterized by intimacy, knowledge, and response. In John 10:27, Jesus states, 'My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.' This signifies that true believers are responsive to Christ's call through the gospel, demonstrating a transformative relationship initiated by God's grace. Being one of His sheep implies a continual journey of faith, where believers increasingly reflect the character of Christ and are assured of their eternal security.
