<p>10:26 <i>But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep</i>- Belief was related to accepting the Lord's words&nbsp;(:27). Those words, His claims, were and are to be accepted without concrete proof and there is no such thing as concrete proof or else faith would not be faith. The claims of His person are presented as they are in the Gospel and clearly in the Gospel records. Once they are accepted, then we are His sheep, and are led further if we wish to follow further. It is not that there is something magic in the words of the book called the Bible which creates faith. For many read it and do not believe. The idea is that the words and salvation promises of the Lord Jesus are heard or read, and accepted. The leap in faith is taken. And then all starts to make sense. The Samaritan woman is a case in point. No miracles were done to back up the Lord's claims. She simply believed them.</p>
