From TAC:
Dr. Anne Jeffrey is a professor of philosophy at Baylor University. In my previous interview, we discussed the explanatory role God plays in moral normativity and moral epistemology. In this interview Dr. Jeffrey and I will discuss four arguments that God plays a significant explanatory role in moral motivation. The first of these four arguments is based on a forthcoming paper by Dr. Jeffrey titled, "Divine Friendship and Moral Motivation."

“The message of the gospel—God’s act of forgiveness and salvation in Jesus—is rooted in hesed. Hesed describes the disposition of God’s heart not only toward His people but to all humanity. The love of God extends far beyond duty or expectation. His forgiveness of sin fulfills a need that is basic to all other needs in the relationship between human beings and God—the restoration and continuation of fellowship with God in Jesus Christ. God’s hesed manifested in forgiveness makes a relationship with Him possible. That forgiveness comes to us freely as a gift from God based on the sacrificial act of Christ.”
