Justice isn’t just something we advocate for—it’s something we’re wired for. In episode 18 of "God’s Image in Man," Duane Sheriff teaches that when we witness injustice, our hearts recoil because we bear the image of a just God. Scripture declares that righteousness and justice form the very foundation of God’s throne, making true justice inseparable from righteousness.

Justice reflects God’s image within us—it’s woven into our spiritual DNA. In today’s culture, justice is often distorted by forms of “social justice” disconnected from God’s standards. When righteousness is removed, justice devolves into vengeance and hypocrisy. Biblical justice, by contrast, is God’s judgment administered without partiality, bias, or double standards—rewarding good and restraining evil with mercy and humility.

If there were no judgment, nothing in life would truly matter. In episode 17 of "God’s Image in Man," Duane Sheriff teaches that judgment is not something to avoid, but something to redeem. Because God is Judge, judgment itself is part of His image in humanity. The real question is not whether we judge, but how we judge. Scripture instructs believers to reject judgments based on appearance, emotion, or culture, and instead judge with righteous judgment—rooted in God’s Word and led by the Holy Spirit.

Righteous judgment discerns good from evil, truth from deception, and aligns with what God has already judged. When judgment is restored to righteousness, clarity replaces confusion, accountability replaces chaos, and God’s image is reflected in our lives.

Everyone judges something or someone daily. The question is whether we judge righteously or unrighteously. In episode 16 of "God’s Image in Man," Duane Sheriff confronts the cultural lie that Christians should not judge and teaches that Scripture calls us to judge righteously.

God is Judge, Lawgiver, and King, and since humanity is created in His image, judgment is inevitable. There are three types of divine judgment: past judgment (fulfilled at the cross), present judgment (God's loving chastening), and future judgment (the wrath to come). Without judgment, there can be no justice, no discernment, no distinction between good and evil; justice collapses, and truth becomes subjective. We are called to discern good from evil, not by appearance or culture, but by God’s Word. Recovering biblical judgment restores clarity, protects future generations, and reflects God’s image with truth and love.

Before Adam was given a wife, he was given a job—revealing that work is not a result of the fall, but a vital part of our humanity. In episode 15 of "God’s Image in Man," Duane Sheriff teaches that work is essential to fulfilling God’s will and purpose for our lives.

Work is an act of worship when done unto the Lord, a way we serve our families, communities, and future generations. Our identity is not found in our jobs, yet our personhood is expressed through faithful labor. We work not merely to get, but to give—reflecting God’s image through generosity, excellence, and responsibility. Teaching the next generation the value and purpose of work restores dignity and aligns us with God’s design.

Our culture may despise work, but the Bible introduces God as a Creator who works, rests, and blesses. Work is not a curse—it is the fifth attribute of God’s image in humanity. In Episode 14 of God’s Image in Man, Duane Sheriff teaches God’s pattern of six days of work and one day of rest.

Scripture makes no distinction between “secular” and “spiritual” labor; all legitimate work is holy when done unto the Lord. Regardless of our occupation, our labor reflects God’s image when performed with excellence and faith. When we refuse to work or fail to rest, we distort God’s image within us. The value of work restores dignity, purpose, and alignment with God’s rhythm of creation, and it is important to pass these principles on to the next generation.
