It´s a good point you make in quoting Jesus´ Lord´s Prayer that makes explicit God as parent, and implies Jesus as "Son," and that endows all followers in the same sense, albeit derivative of Jesus´ pioneering, comprehensive, and contextualized life, mission, and message as the initiator and demonstrator of a new level of sacred conduct in relation to God through Jesus. Followers as "Children of God" preserves that distinction of descent. Since "Christians" can assume hypocritical and treacherous, apostatic appearances misusing Jesus´ name, Jesus only initiated a potential, he potentiated salvation, it might be said. High integrity monks and other spiritual activists thus are a revelatory phenomena in the Historical Sociology of Christ´s legacy. Your phraseology after that, however, already seems to blur the distinction you are trying to make. When you say, "a worthy vessel for God, as His Spirit," I might suggest the component of relationship by illuminating "as His Spirit" as follows, "a worthy vessel for God, (expressing God´s nature and Spirit by his (Jesus´) intimate choice in having prepared and delivered himself in all necessary and sufficient ways)."

God and Jesus, Did God "Come Down"?
N H @ Av Prog Chr
God has not come down from heaven.
OUT FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN..
The anointed man, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son, proved a worthy vessel for God, as His Spirit, to indwell from the Jordan and do His works through him.
Compare Mt 12.28 with Lk 11.20 you will see that the SPIRIT of God is as the FINGER OF GOD.
Acts 5 1-5 also confirms this.
