The sin of familiarity is a fault that affects many people. Familiarity is to know someone so well or in such a way as to lose your admiration, respect or sense of awe. Familiarity causes us not to realize the greatness and the anointing that is upon a person. It caused the brothers of Jesus not to realize the great anointing upon His life (John 7:5).
