(May 20, 2026 — Comfort from the Holy Spirit)
When a person receives the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, has their sins forgiven, and begins the journey of living a life set apart for God, are they willing to entrust the road ahead to God in their daily life and in every choice they make? Are they willing to stop relying on their own wisdom, thoughts, and ideas as they did before, leave behind the fleshly ways of the old self, and learn to live according to the truth?
In the generation that God judged for its sin, the floodwaters gradually went down. After forty days, Noah opened the window of the ark and sent out a raven. The raven kept flying back and forth until the water on the earth had dried up, but it did not return to the ark. This also reminds us that some believers today have entered into salvation, yet they do not value a holy life. They still live according to the thoughts and desires of their old self. Their eyes still long for the world. They are not watchful or careful, and they allow the uncleanness of the world to stain their lives, gradually losing their awareness of sin. Those who belong to God must not continue living in uncleanness. They must leave behind the fleshly ways of the old self, pursue holiness, and keep themselves away from sin.
Noah then sent out a dove to see whether the water had gone down from the earth. But because water still covered the whole earth, the dove could not find a place to rest its feet, so it returned to Noah in the ark. Noah reached out his hand and brought it back into the ark. This also teaches believers to examine their own lives. Are they like this dove, unwilling to remain in what is unclean and impure? Are they watchful against sin, willing to be set apart for God, depending on the Lord in their daily lives, and pursuing a holy life so that they may walk on the path that pleases God?
After Noah brought the dove back into the ark, he waited another seven days and sent it out again. This time, the dove did not return immediately as it had before. In the evening, it came back to the ark with a freshly plucked olive leaf in its beak. This also teaches believers that spiritual growth requires time and training. It is like walking through the wilderness under God’s guidance. Although a person may go through difficult trials and refining, they can still hold on to hope. Through these experiences, God gradually renews a person’s life, purifies them through trials, makes them holy, and brings them into a new stage of spiritual renewal. They begin to taste the sweetness that comes from spiritual growth and receive the peace and grace given by the Lord.
Noah waited another seven days and sent the dove out once again. This time, the dove did not return.
When a person’s spiritual life has gone through training and renewal, they should no longer remain like a spiritual infant in an immature and undeveloped stage. Instead, they should grow into maturity, become fully equipped, strong, and powerful, and be able to follow the Lord’s footsteps with determination. They should continue moving upward on the heavenly path, like an eagle spreading its wings and soaring.
The journey of faith does not end at the starting point of receiving salvation. A person’s life must continue to be renewed and purified by the Holy Spirit, gradually growing into maturity. When a person is willing to accept God’s training, leave uncleanness behind, and pursue holiness, they will be able to bear all kinds of spiritual fruits of righteousness, live a life that is pleasing to God, and be accepted by Him.
Scripture
2 Corinthians
Chapter 6 Verses 14-17
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
and what communion hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial?
or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
for ye are the temple of the living God;
as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean thing;
and I will receive you.
1 Peter
Chapter 1 Verses 13-15
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober,
and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you
at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
But as he which hath called you is holy,
so be ye holy in all manner of conversation.
1 Peter
Chapter 1 Verses 6-7
Wherein ye greatly rejoice,
though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,
though it be tried with fire,
might be found unto praise and honour and glory
at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
John
Chapter 15 Verses 1-2
I am the true vine,
and my Father is the husbandman.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away:
and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it,
that it may bring forth more fruit.
