God, the highest being, as one of the three ideas of metaphysics, can’t always be avoided by philosophers. Naturally, the relationship between they and human come to be the content that should be discussed. With the developing of Christian, the content of the Bible has changed somewhat, and the image of God has changed too, so does the relationship between God and human. As the key person who study theology grounding in Christian, Kant do many things to the philosophy of religion, it has an epoch making significance. Kant discussed religion within the reason, and it brings about a new situation to the study of the relationship between God and human.I base this paper on the works of Kant, and conclude the explicit or implicit arguments on the relationship between God and human, at the same time refer to the latest achievement from foreign and domestic research. Then I gradually deduce the essence of the relationship between God and human. I demonstrate it from six chapters. In the part of introduction, I summarize the explicit or implicit content of the relationship between God and human from he researchers’works. In the first chapter, I have studied the essences of God and human in detail, and I have finally arrived at conclusion that persons are free, and they have the self-discipline, In the second chapter, the moral service to God, I find that taking the son of God as the moral model and establishing visible churches to make themselves perfect in morality is the only way serving God, and the service to God is totally from the moral sense of mission. In the third chapter, the grace of God, I make a discussion to the ways of grace, one is the perfection in morality, the other is the happiness that matches the virtues, and prove that people can only get the grace of God by living a good lifestyle and reaching the pure moral belief. So the arrival of the kingdom of the heaven is just a inner harmony of nature and liberty, In the fourth chapter, the rethink to the relationship between God and human,according to the above-mentioned conclusions of chapters, I draw the conclusion that the essence of the relationship reveals that persons make moral laws for themselves,fear their reason in Kant’s moral theology, and reach the highest good by themselves. In the conclusion of the paper, I mainly state the importance of Kant’s moral theology in the history of Christian and his contribution and shortage,as well as my strong points and weaknesses.In this paper, I want to reach the two aims by discussing the relationship between God and human. One is to restore a real Kant in terms of emotional aspect, who is not only a steady and wise thinker, but also a current leader with adequate enthusiasm and taking everybody into heart, and we can feel the warm heart from the obscure and abstract theories. The other one is to reveal the essential relationship between God and human by studying in depth, and to further explore the philosophical meaning of the essential relationship and the profound influence to the study of religious philosophy in the wake of Kant.
