FAMILY OF GOD -Familia Dei (Latin)

Familia Dei is a Latin phrase that means "Family of God." It is a term used by Christians to refer to the body of believers, the church. The phrase is based on the biblical concept of the church as the family of God, as seen in passages such as Ephesians 2:19-22:

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

The phrase Familia Dei is often used to emphasize the importance of community and fellowship among believers. It is a reminder that we are all part of the same family, and that we are called to love and support

The Gospel of John is probably the book in the New Testament
that gives us the best explanation of the love quality of God.
Chapters 15 and 17 complement one another with regard to
what God’s love comprises. The Evangelist succeeds in the
presentation of Jesus as not only the personalisation and
objectification of God’s love but also the content around which
the love of God revolves and emanates, for the Son is part of
the divine.
The Gospel of John clearly communicates that the familia
Dei is the environment in which the children of God should
experience this love every day. Experiencing this love of
God lies in the ‘mutual abiding of Jesus/disciple; the mutual
loving of God/Son/other; obedience and the bearing of
fruit in abundance’. The unity generated through this love
should contribute to be a powerful witness to the world to
come to faith in Jesus and to know and to experience that
Jesus has been sent by the Father (God) into this world.
In the familia Dei, the love of God is seen and experienced
every day when Paul says:
[L]ove suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does
not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely,
does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does
not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all
things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
(1 Cor 13:4–7)
