What does the Bible say about the kinship in the body of Christ?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that believers share a unique kinship through the love of God, which is shed abroad in their hearts.
In Acts 16, the Apostle Paul’s interactions illustrate the profound kinship that exists among believers in Christ. This kinship is rooted in the love of God that is imparted to us through the Holy Spirit when we are born again. Prior to salvation, many believers may find little desire for God or His people, but upon regeneration, there comes an instant affection and recognition among fellow believers. Romans 5:5 states that the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, affirming the sense of belonging and familial unity that believers have amidst one another, not based on earthly ties but on spiritual rebirth through Christ.
