Your objections are answered quite clearly in Romans, chapter 9. Take up and read.

Yes, and in light of what we are taught in the chapter before, we are “heirs of God”, we are part of Father's family, like Jesus is part of the His family.

(Romans 8:17-19.)

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Being “joint-heirs with Christ”, we will be a brother or sister of Christ, not an underling.

Our skills and talents may be different then His, yet, we will not be less then Him, nor will we be greater then Him.

“we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” that is, glorified with Him.
