I can think of no better answer than that of the Heidelberg Catechism:
Q33: Why is He called God's "only begotten Son," since we also are the children of God?
A33: Because Christ alone is the eternal, natural Son of God,[1] but we are the children of God by adoption, through grace, for His sake.[2]
1. John 1:14, 18
2. Rom. 8:15-17; Eph. 1:5-6; I John 3:1
