John10:1 "Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn't enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

How man men and woman believed since Christ Jesus words here that they have enter into the sheep fold by the blessing of some religion upon earth, but have they or are they climbing up another way?

John 5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. 5:40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
5:41 I don't receive glory from men. 5:42 But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves.

Why would one climb into the sheep pen instead of walking through the door, when all are invited? Well, fleshly false religion would have you believe all are not invited, but they are, they would have you believe they have the knowledge to enter into the sheepfold through they top teachers of their group, but do they?

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name:

Climbing implies self-effort not God effort, does it not? Why would someone think they could by self-effort get into a sheep pen requiring salvation from God, outside of self-survival? Not only this if those same climbers got into the sheep pen they are thieves and robbers, shocking harsh words from Christ, for those thinking by works of law they can be approved of God. What is a work of law for a Christian's? Lets make this clear, its more than obeying the Old Law like most Christian's believe, it is any work claiming, which we claim by our good effort we can save ourselves.

John 6:29 Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

Such work makes us a thief and a robber how? Simply put, there is one life God has authorized for our salvation, meaning without that God authorized life there is no salvation, which is Christ Jesus. In other words, the life of Christ Jesus has to be given too us by God kindness, unmerited kindness, it cannot be gotten any other way. We cannot obey enough commandments or our group rules to say: “I have earned life by my good efforts or my sincerity to serve God.”
No!

Christ life is God's covenant/law of love, his provision too us, and the world, the door into salvation. The door is a legal right earned by Christ Jesus good works and not man's upon earth – all men being sinners. Any claiming life by works of law are thieves they steal salvation through Christ Jesus by self-effort, which is a lie, and a robber.

Romans 3:28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
