We enter into this union with God upon being born again of the Spirit (Regeneration leading to Adoption). Now are we the sons (and daughters) of God.

But if the spirit of the Father was in Jesus, and the spirit of Jesus/the spirit of Father is in us, why would we not be all heirs of God? Why would Paul make a difference between heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ?
