How do we know that believers are 'brethren' in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are considered 'brethren' because they are all born of God, share a common hope, and are part of the same family through the blood of Christ.

The concept of believers being 'brethren' is rooted in the shared experience of grace and regeneration. All true believers are united because they have one Father and are born again into a spiritual family. This brotherhood is not just a social connection but a profound spiritual reality that emphasizes their unity through the Holy Spirit. As noted in the text, believers love and support one another, motivated by a common bond—the blood of Christ—and driven by a shared commitment to glorifying God together.
