What a Relationship with God Really Is

Until you do this, no relationship with God can exist!

(Acts 8:9 KJV)  But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

(Acts 8:12 KJV)  But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

(Acts 8:13 KJV)  Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

(Acts 8:14 KJV)  Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

(Acts 8:15 KJV)  Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:

(Acts 8:16 KJV)  (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

(Acts 8:17 KJV)  Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

(Acts 8:18 KJV)  And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

(Acts 8:19 KJV)  Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

(Acts 8:20 KJV)  But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

(Acts 8:21 KJV)  Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

(Acts 8:22 KJV)  Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

(Acts 8:23 KJV)  For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

(John 7:17 KJV)  If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

(Revelation 22:14 KJV)  Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
