Notes:
And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. –Jn 17:3 (NLT)I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. –Jn 15:15 (NLT)“I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber! --Jn 10 (NLT)But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. --Jn 10 (NLT)The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. --Jn 10 (NLT)After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice... --Jn 10 (NLT)But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” --Jn 10 (NLT)The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. --Jn 10 (NLT)After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because
they know his voice... --Jn 10 (NLT)The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a
rich and satisfying life. --Jn 10 (NLT)My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. Jesus says it differently elsewhere. –Jn 10:27 (NLT)...blessed are all who hear the word of God and obey it.” –Lk 11:28 (NIV)Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.” –Jn 14:21 (NLT)“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. –Rev 3:20 (NLT)AvalonChurch.org/HearingGod
