What does the Bible say about loving the brethren?

Answered in 2 sources

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

In 1 John 3:14, it states that we know we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren. This love is not a natural affection; rather, it is a supernatural love that stems from being born of the Spirit. It indicates a genuine transformation in the believer's heart, affirming their relationship with God. Scripture clearly delineates that only those born of God can truly love one another, rooting this concept in God's essence, as 'God is love' (1 John 4:7-8). Therefore, the love for fellow believers is a defining characteristic of a true Christian life.
