What does the Bible say about the sheepfold?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that there is one sheepfold, which represents the church and includes all of God's people.

The concept of the sheepfold in the Bible, particularly in John 10, refers to the church as an enclosure for Christ's sheep, keeping them separate and secure from the world. Jesus declares that He is the door of the sheepfold, indicating that only through Him can one enter and find safety and salvation. This sheepfold is not divided; instead, it consists of one universal church composed of all true believers, both Jew and Gentile, as highlighted in John 10:16. The church serves as the protective environment for God's people, emphasized by the notion that the Lord's sheep are gathered together in one fold under the shepherd's care.
