How does Jesus refer to fellow believers?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus refers to fellow believers as brethren, indicating a deep familial relationship rooted in faith.

In Hebrews 2:11, it is stated, 'For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.' This reflects the profound truth that believers share in an eternal family through Christ, who is not only our Savior but also our elder brother. This identification emphasizes belonging and unity among the followers of Christ, as they are all recipients of God’s grace and love. Recognizing one another as brethren has significant implications for how believers relate to each other, fostering a spirit of love, support, and community within the body of Christ.
