In John 10:1-5 Jesus compared Himself to a shepherd of sheep. In this analogy believers are similar to sheep that need a shepherd to lead and protect them. Like sheep, believers are to recognize the voice of their true Shepherd. Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27). Just as a shepherd protects his sheep Jesus protects His people (believers) from eternal harm. While believers can expect to suffer on earth, Satan cannot harm their souls or take away their eternal life with God. If you choose to follow Jesus He will give you everlasting safety. (John 10:28, 29).
