What does the Bible say about the Church being compared to a Dove?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible uses the metaphor of a Dove to illustrate the Church's meekness, purity, and fidelity to Christ.

In Scripture, the Church is frequently likened to a Dove, particularly in the Song of Solomon (Song 2:14) and Psalms (Ps 74:19). This metaphor encapsulates the Church's characteristics of simplicity, chastity, and innocence, reflecting its call to be non-confrontational and harmless like the Dove. As believers, they are encouraged to embody these attributes, living in a way that seeks peace and serves others, thereby distinguishing themselves in a perverse generation (Philippians 2:15).
