Yes we're His offspring but if our first birth is sufficient then we have no need of rebirth. The rebirth through Jesus is to make us again in God's image as God said "Let US make man in OUR image" so He was talking to someone which is clearly a messianic prophecy and He was talking through the ages to Jesus the Son before He was born. Because God knew that man would fall and have to be remade again. This is why Jesus came to fulfill the prophecies and that one in particular because He must first die or else no rebirth for us. "unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit." (John 12:24)he said we must worship god in spirit. he didn't say my father exclusive. you are to pray in the name of he father; which is the son's too. we too are his offspring. he was the first born from the dead. he isn't the last.
Anyway, the name of the Father is Jesus as we know those who confess that Jesus Christ is Lord do so to "the glory of the Father" So, we know that Jesus is the name of the Father who was "manifest in the flesh" 1 Tim 3:16.
