However spiritually, brother or sister is denoted by the sharing of a common Father...and scripture says that if we are His, then we will do His will and obey Him and if we do not than we are non of His.
So if God says that you are only His if you obey and there are things we can do or NOT do that reveals our spiritual parentage, if I call someone brother or sister that God does NOT acknowledge as His, am I lying?
