Actually, I am a bit familar with the Bible.
Your choice of words about Him giving us the power to become sons of God reminded me of some of the beliefs of the prominent Utah religion.
Many translations use “children of God” rather than sons of God in John 1:12. As I don’t read Greek or Hebrew, I don’t know which is more accurate.
All I know for sure is that Jesus is the actual Son of God, and that we can be adopted into His family.
Although I no longer live in Utah, they do sell Bibles in Utah (although the LDS trust it only if it is translated correctly). Happy Easter!

No, children of God is not correct.

The total implication of Sons of God means a literal new creation, not of biological nature. Each “son of God” is a unique immortal creation, and that is what our “new bodies” are going to be.
