What does the Bible say about love for the brethren?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that true love for the brethren is evidence of having passed from death to life (1 John 3:14).

The scripture emphasizes that love for fellow believers is a vital sign of genuine faith. In 1 John 3:14, we read that 'We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.' This love is not merely an emotional attachment but a deep-seated commitment that flows from the Holy Spirit's work in our hearts. Moreover, John the Apostle repeatedly demonstrates this love in his letters, particularly highlighting the relationship between truth and love, indicating that love for others is a manifestation of our love for God and the truth of the Gospel we hold dear.
