Love for others and the recognition of the equal worth of all people in the ____ should compel us to take steps to improve the situation of others.

• A. Heart
• B. Society
• C. Sight of God
• D. Church

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that love for others is informed by the belief that every person has equal value in God’s sight, and that awareness should move us to act to improve others’ situations. When we say people are equal in the sight of God, we’re grounding our moral obligation in a universal standard that transcends personal feelings, social status, or church affiliation. This divine perspective tells us that helping others isn’t optional or dependent on human approval—it follows from recognizing each person’s inherent dignity as God’s image-bearer. The other options miss that universal, divinely grounded basis: the heart points to inner affection, which doesn’t by itself guarantee action; society points to human structures, which can be flawed or partial; the church points to an institution, which is not the ultimate standard that defines worth.
