John 15:
14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.


He is our Lord, but we are not his servants, right?
He is our friend, our brother.

I believe we do serve him, and we do that by serving each other. Its a very good thing when your master calls you His friend.

John chapter 1 seems to indicate that we're given the same bloodline as him being born of the Spirit. Also Romans 8:29.
