According to Finley, Pennock (1976), Relationship between two or more people or between people and God are not the only kinds of relationships they now to exist. Indeed, the universe reveals to them a countless number of different kinds of relationships in nature. Examining these relationships which bring with them moral responsibility; The world of nature can be seen as a vast network of relationships in which the sun total of living things exists in mutual dependence on one another.
Love is a commonly used word today. They see it on bumper stickers and sweatshirts. They hear it on the radio and in poetry. But what is love, really? What does love have to do with morality, personal relationships, and responsibility? Such questions are by no means easy to answer.
Love is, in a sense, a mystery and no one will ever be able to fully understand or explain it. For their purposes here, however, they can make a few remarks about love that can help clarify the place of love in our moral response to God. The most simple and yet one of the most important things to say of love is that it is love that gives them all their personal relationships to one another. Love is that power in them that moves them to go out of themselves, give of themselves, and unite themselves with the one they love. They may experience accidental relationship with others as when they happen to have the same color, come from the same family, or go to the same school. But they became directly, deeply, and personally related to one another when they freely choose to love another and thereby no longer live for their own selfish needs alone the one they love. Out of such love flow the relationships for which they are morally responsible.
For the Christians, it is important to note that this personal love for others which gives rise to moral responsibility is not a love that comes primarily from themselves
