Where is the door to the sheepfold located in John 10 and who can reach it?
The door to the sheepfold in John 10 is located at ground level, not placed where it ostracizes or excludes some people. It is not beyond the reach of anybody, so all can reach it. Even so, salvation still has to begin with God, who makes the first move toward mankind.
Les teaches that the door to the sheepfold in John chapter 10 is on ground level. It is not located where it ostracizes some people, and it is not beyond the reach of anybody. He connects this with mankind’s condition: ever since Adam and Eve hid from God in the garden, people will not seek God of their own volition. God must make the first move. Yet this does not mean God has already picked who He will save and who He won’t, because the work of the cross was sufficient for everybody.
