Justice • This Is the Bible's Radical View

"Justice" is a felt need in our world today and a controversial topic. But what is justice, exactly, and who gets to define it? In this video, we'll explore the biblical theme of Justice and discover how it's deeply rooted in the story-line of the Bible that leads to Jesus.

Treating others as the lmage of God...Wow I had never seen it that way !!
Thats a life changing statement

When I vacationed in cuba, I hurt my hand pretty bad and I was in a bad mood. This begger came up to me, an older woman. She seemed homeless and put her hands out for money. I shoo'd her away or just sighed or something. I can't remember, I was in pain and didn't want to deal with her. She wasn't the usual con artist trying to draw a picture of you while you walk and try to force you to give you money. She was just begging. I thought about what I had just done and prayed to god, "Lord if you want me to help that woman, put her in my path once more." Sure enough after a couple blocks down I see her sitting against a wall looking sad. It tore my heart apart as it seemed she gave up after me. I gave her all the cash I had in my pocket and watched her face shine like I had never seen before. I had to give thanks to god for convicting me of my actions and the gift he gave me once I did the right thing.

As a social worker in the U.S.A I find myself coming back to this video again and again to remind myself that God is so much more than those who try and represent them. The scene at the end where the figure takes and deep breath and get to work, and the very end of the seemingly endless task of pulling people out of injustice bring me to tear every time. It represents my feelings so well.

There is beauty in simplicity.

The scarf...moving like the Holy Spirit, moved me.

“Treating others as the image of God.”

*wow that hit me*

It’s so important to have a Biblical understanding of justice. Without a godly response to injustice, the cycle continues.

The symbolism at the end of using the Holy Spirit as a lifeline to save the oppressed, unexpectedly brought tears to my eyes.

[riverbendkings]

"When the oppressed gain power, they often become oppressors themselves." It happens way too often. Sad but true.

I am in law school, so i love to watch videos about justice in a christian way. Thank you so much, bible project. God bless you all ❤

[brendansmith]

I’m an agnostic/atheist (and perfectly content to stay that way so please don’t try to convert me), but I gotta say I love these videos. I grew up Christian but I was turned off by all the hypocrisy and shallow thinking of Christians around me. But you guys really do the Bible justice, and have helped me to reconnect with my roots. Definitely the best way to learn about the Bible, outside of reading it yourself (which I’m also slowly working through).

You guys are creating some of the most influential content I’ve ever experienced in my life. I came across the bible projects podcasts a few months ago, and it has been a point for me to strengthen my faith in one of the hardest moments of my life. I came across an extremely personal and traumatizing act of injustice. One that affected me so deeply that my faith was tested to a point where I even yelled at the sky in tears and asked god if he was even real. I had never thought I was capable of such an acquisition, but sometimes its hard for us to see why things happen. I can without a doubt say that without the content that has been created here I would not be the person I am today, and i would not be going so far out of my way to try and uphold justice against the forces of evil I’ve personally experienced in this world. Thank you guys for spreading god’s word and for wanting me to be virtuous.

[LkdSamte]

You guys are doing a great job not only for yourselves and the viewers but especially for our LORD! Love, from India.

[milkpabotea]

I have watched this so many times and it still gets me every time 😭 especially the last illustration!!! This is a whole new level of ‘loving one another’ that I’m still learning to unfold. Having the courage to speak up for those who have no voice & treating others as the image of God. Wow. Thank you Bible project for the awesome videos ♥️

Micah 6:8 always makes me tear up. It’s so simple and yet SO beautiful and powerful at the same time! My favorite verse by far!

[JamesPrime]

You guys should make an animated movie. I would totally buy it.
