Yes, we are children of God, and yes, he lives in believers (John 14:21).
Jesus is unique. In John 3:16 the Greek behind “one and only son” literally means unique or one of a kind. In John 1:1-2 Jesus is described as the word who was in the beginning with God.

The audience who heard him say this realized he was claiming divinity and picked up stones to kill him on the spot.
