Identity begins with creation—not culture. In episode seven of "God's Image in Man," Duane Sheriff explores the foundational truth that humanity was fearfully and wonderfully made in God's image—created male and female as part of God's divine order and design. From the moment of conception, God forms each person in the mother's womb with intention and purpose, a truth powerfully declared in Psalm 139. Every cell in the human body carries a God-given genetic code that reveals our gender—an objective reality that cannot be altered by cultural pressure or human deception.

Though sin corrupted and distorted God's image in Adam, Jesus fully restored that image within the born-again spirit. The believer's spirit is now one with the Lord, carrying the fullness of God's image within. When we understand that male and female reflect God's image, we recognize that assaults on gender are ultimately assaults on the Creator Himself. This revelation equips parents and believers to stand firm on biblical truth, guide the next generation through cultural confusion, and remind them that they are uniquely created, deeply loved, and intentionally designed by God.

God is the author and creator of our gender, yet culture is waging a spiritual assault against God's image in humanity. In episode six of "God's Image in Man", Duane Sheriff confronts this confusion by establishing the biblical foundation of gender as an essential part of God's divine design. The creation of male and female was intentional, ordered, and purposeful—woven into creation before sin and foundational to the institution of marriage itself.

Understanding that humanity was created male and female is central to understanding what it means to bear God's image. When this truth is distorted, the attack is not merely cultural or political—it is spiritual. Scripture makes clear that gender is not a social construct or personal decision, but part of God's original, pre-fall design. From the beginning, God created humanity male and female, and together they reflect His image, order, and wisdom.

The first and primary attribute of God's image in humanity is to take dominion. In episode five of "God's Image in Man", Duane Sheriff teaches that, as image-bearers of God, humanity has been entrusted with dominion, sovereignty, and the authority to rule and reign on earth. Matthew 18:18 and Revelation 5:10 state that we have the ability to bind and loose, to reign as kings and priests. By grace through faith, Christians are called to take authority over sin, sickness, their families, and society.

When we fail to exercise righteous dominion—whether in our homes, communities, and nation—the image of God in us becomes distorted. Stop making excuses, stop playing the victim, and take personal responsibility through faith. God cannot override our free will, as doing so would violate His image in us. We are called to fight the good fight of faith, choose life over death, and partner with God to bring His kingdom to earth as it is in heaven.

Before God ever gave humanity a command, He gave us an assignment—to rule and reign in the earth. In episode four of “God’s Image In Man,” Duane Sheriff addresses the critical difference between what God allows and what God wills. He explains that God’s sovereignty is revealed not by controlling every outcome, but by granting humanity free will and delegated authority. When God gave Adam dominion, He bound Himself to that covenant—and God cannot break His word.

The problems in our world do not flow from God’s will, but from a failure to understand and exercise God-given dominion. This truth transforms how believers view suffering, injustice, and life’s challenges. We were never meant to live as passive victims waiting on God to act. We have been given authority to rule over sin, darkness, and Satan—not over one another. When this truth is restored, responsibility replaces blame, and believers are empowered to walk in the authority God placed in their hands.

Two men changed the destiny of every human being—Adam and Jesus. In Part 3 of Godliness – The Gospel Scheme, Duane Sheriff teaches the mystery of godliness by exploring the connection between the first Adam and the last Adam. Adam, the first man, brought sin, death, and spiritual separation into the world through his disobedience, losing the dominion God originally entrusted to mankind.

But God’s answer was another Man. Jesus, the second man and last Adam, came as God in the flesh through the virgin birth, bypassing the sin nature passed on through human fathers. Creator God, in human form, reclaimed the dominion Adam lost through His perfect obedience, death, and resurrection.

Salvation is not achieved through human effort but is received through the new birth in Christ. Millions of believers now carry Christ’s life and authority on earth. Adam brought the fall—but Jesus brought the comeback. Through faith in Christ, we move from defeat to dominion, from brokenness to victory, and from death into the life God intended from the beginning.

Before sin ever entered the world, God gave humanity dominion over creation. This divine design means every person was created to win, overcome, and walk in victory—not to live as victims or losers. In episode three of "God's Image In Man," Duane Sheriff teaches that one of the first and most foundational attributes of God's image in humanity is dominion. While the earth belongs to the Lord, He has entrusted mankind with stewardship and delegated authority within it.

Understanding our identity as image-bearers with dominion transforms how believers approach life's challenges, parenting, and purpose in the world. This truth explains why losing feels unnatural and why something within us resists a victim mindset. We were created to overcome, to prevail, and to walk in authority—not as owners of the earth, but as faithful stewards under God’s sovereignty.

When this truth is misunderstood, people blame God for chaos He never authored. But when identity is restored, responsibility is reclaimed. You were not created to collapse under life—you were created to rule in righteousness.

Every person is created in the image and likeness of God, carrying within themselves the spark of God's breath. In episode two of "God's Image In Man," Duane Sheriff teaches that being created in God's image is the foundation of our identity, worth, and purpose. We bear the divine image as both a reflection and a representation of God—created as image bearers of the living God.

Although sin damages and distorts God's image in humanity, salvation through Jesus Christ restores it. Restoring God's image is a primary purpose of salvation, making us a new creation in Christ. In Christ, the righteousness of God renews the image that defines our humanity, value, and worth. This truth explains why all human life is sacred and why Satan relentlessly attacks identity because God's image in man reveals our purpose, authority, and destiny.

Being made in God's image isn't something we put on—it is the core of who we are and what it truly means to be human. We are image bearers of God, the crown jewel of all creation, carrying within us a spark of the divine that separates us from everything else God has created. In the new series, “God's Image In Man," Duane Sheriff teaches that sin shattered that mirror, distorting and damaging God's image in humanity, but through faith in Jesus and the transformative power of the cross, God's image can be restored.

Understanding what it means to be created in God's image and likeness brings clarity to today's cultural confusion, restores the sacred value of human life, and equips parents and grandparents to ground their children in truth - even as society relentlessly attacks identity and value. When God's image is restored, identity becomes clear, purpose is awakened, and being human makes sense again.

God’s plan of redemption was a divine design strategically concealed throughout the ages and unveiled in Jesus. In Part Two of “Godliness – The Gospel Scheme,” Duane Sheriff unveils the mystery of godliness by focusing on the first and foundational truth of the gospel: God manifest in the flesh. This mystery, once hidden, is now fulfilled as Christ entered our humanity.

God did not remain distant from His creation—He entered humanity through Christ to restore what was lost and fulfill the gospel scheme hidden for generations. Through the virgin birth, the cross, and the resurrection, Jesus accomplished what no mere man could do, defeating sin and reclaiming authority for mankind. Christ became part of our humanity so we could share in His righteousness and life.

As believers grasp this revelation, they come to recognize their identity as members of Christ’s body on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill God’s purpose. Godliness is no longer just doctrine—it becomes a living reality through Christ in you.

As believers, we are called to be stewards of God’s mysteries, training ourselves in godliness with the same discipline an athlete trains their body. In “Godliness – The Gospel Scheme,” Duane Sheriff lays the foundation for understanding one of Christianity’s most profound truths: the mystery of godliness. This mystery encompasses the entire gospel scheme—God’s divine plan, once hidden in Him and now revealed to those who seek Him.

Godliness is not a religious activity but a living connection to the power of the gospel. Drawing on 1 Timothy 3:16, Duane reveals how this mystery unfolds in six powerful movements: God manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up into glory. Each phrase connects us to Christ’s life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension—releasing supernatural power.

When we understand this mystery, godliness becomes more than effort—we experience the full power of the gospel that breaks addictions, transforms hearts, and makes us a blessing everywhere we go.
