Genesis 8:15–19; John 10:3–4; Matthew 28:19; Philippians 1:6
God spoke to Noah, commanding him, his family, and the animals to leave the ark. They were to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth again.
Experiencing Christ Commentary emphasizes that salvation does not end with preservation but continues with commission.

Main Points:
- God’s salvation includes preservation and commission.
- Leaving the ark signifies entering a new life and mission.
- Believers are called to fruitfulness and increase in Christ.
