There is the BIG reason why being a child of God makes a difference-- because we are washed clean in Christ's blood, thus being able to achieve heaven.
Yet there is a daily reason, summed up well in this quote from my favorite devotional, Streams in the Desert:
"I cannot tell how it is that I should be able to receive into my being a power to do and to bear by communion with God, but I know it is a fact.
Are you in peril through some crushing, heavy trial? Seek the communion with Christ, and you will receive strength and be able to conquer. 'I will strengthen thee.' "
