John 10:1-18 p. 759Anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.

John 10:9

“I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me”

John 14:6

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it…”

Matthew 7:13-14

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. …God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith.

He did it to demonstrate his righteousness, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

Romans 3:20-26

Jesus is both the means by which we know God (gate), and the

God we know (Shepherd).
