Digging Deeper: 

Look at John 10:1-15.  What stands out to you in the verses?  How can we know the Father’s love for us?
In verse 7, what does Jesus say about himself? What is significant about Jesus saying “I am the door of the sheep”? What is the result of entering into the sheep fold through Jesus? Read John 10:9-10.  What does it mean to you, to have a full life in Christ?

Where are some of the other places/things/people you have tried to find your identity in, other than Christ?
When it comes to our identity being in Christ, what are some of the biggest struggles you deal with?
How would you describe what our new identity in Christ is like?  What character traits should we be striving for?
