A Relationship with God

Mr. Smith begins this sermon by reminding us that on Pentecost he spoke of God dwelling in us. If God is dwelling in us, then what should our relationship with God be? God wants us to have a relationship with Him, but we have our part to play in it because the Bible tells us that we need to seek a relationship with God with all our heart.
