Spiritual relationship with God is derived through His Scripture, both thought and practice, is the relationship... the problem is we try to incorporate this through flesh which is not how Jesus did so
Matthew 12:47 (KJV)
[47] Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
[48] But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
[49] And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
[50] For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Matthew 12:47 (KJV)
[47] Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
[48] But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
[49] And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
[50] For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Could you explain a little more please of where you are coming from? Jesus is claiming here that believers doing God's will are his brethren. Not necessarily talking about fellowship amongst the brethren.

certainly ... The entirety of Christian thought is to be reformed according to God's Word... even the aspect of family compared to earthly family... this would highlight what Jesus is saying here
John 17:15 (KJV)
[15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
[16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
[17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
[18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
[19] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
[20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
God, through Scripture, has totally revamped our thinking but that only works if we our willing to give up that which is formed from here!
