Christian brotherhood refers to the idea of fellowship and community, particularly within the family of God. It's a concept that goes beyond earthly family ties, a bond that confirms all men and women are part of a larger family as we are all God's children. Why not Google the word Koinonia for further study?

Hebrews 2:11-12 (NIV)

Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. He says,

“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;

in the assembly I will sing your praises.”
