Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
Ye are not of my sheep - Ye have not the disposition of those who come unto me to be instructed and saved: see what follows.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said--referring to the whole strain of the Parable of the Sheep, (Joh 10:1, &c.).
John Gill Bible Commentary
But ye believe not,.... In me, as the Messiah: because ye are not of my sheep; they were not among the sheep given him by his Father, were they, they would have come to him; that is, have believed in him, according to Joh 6:37, they were not the chosen of God, predestinated unto eternal life; for as many as are ordained of God to eternal happiness, do believe in God's own time, Act 13:48; but these not being the elect of God, had not the faith of God's elect. Christ, as the omniscient God, knew this, that they were not the chosen of God; for he was present, when the names of God's elect were written in the book of life; had they been his sheep, he must have known them, for he knows all the sheep, and calls them by name; had they been given him by the Father, he must have known it, and would have owned them as such; but so it was not, and therefore they were left to hardness and unbelief: as l said unto you: which seems to refer to what follows, since he had said before, that the sheep bear the voice of the shepherd, and follow him, and that he knows them, Joh 10:4. This clause is omitted in the Vulgate Latin version, and in Nonnus, but is in the Greek copies, and Oriental versions.
John 10:26
Jesus at the Feast of Dedication
25“I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.26But because you are not My sheep, you refuse to believe.27My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.

Marks of the Elect
By A.W. Tozer4.2K39:16Elect Of GodMAT 3:11MAT 6:33MAT 16:17JHN 6:37JHN 10:26JHN 14:62CO 7:10In this sermon, the preacher discusses the concept of moral sensitivity and how it relates to the reception of the gospel. He emphasizes that not everyone is receptive to the message of God, and that there are many who do not respond to it morally. The preacher uses the analogy of rain falling on a fruitful field to illustrate how the gospel can either make a person fruitful or have no effect at all. He then goes on to explain that those who are morally sensitive and responsive to the voice of God are considered blessed, as they have a deeper understanding of the Father and the Son. The preacher concludes by stating that there are five marks that identify those who are receptive to God, and encourages the audience to reflect on these marks to see if they apply to them.
