What does it mean to have brotherly love?

Answered in 1 source

Having brotherly love means genuinely caring for fellow believers and acting in mutual support and respect.

In 1 Thessalonians 4:9, Paul writes that believers have been taught by God to love one another. This brotherly love stems from the love of Christ which compels us to care for each other deeply. It is not merely a feeling but is demonstrated through actions—such as encouraging, supporting, and selflessly serving one another. Brotherly love is essential to the unity of the church, as it reflects the heart of God and the relationship model displayed by Christ. The call to 'abound in this' indicates that love should be a growing aspect of our Christian walk, impacting how we interact with each other.
