Popstar Justin Bieber sat down for an intimate one-on-one interview with Apple Music where he talked extensively about his faith in Jesus and how much he’s grown as a believer. Watch full video interview below as posted at the Youtube Channel of Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber has these words to say:

“I never really … When it says, following Jesus, it’s actually turning away from sin,” Bieber explained. “What it talks about in the Bible, there’s no faith without obedience. I had had faith about like, ‘I believe Jesus died on the cross for me, but I never really implemented it into my life.’ I never like, ‘I’m gonna be obedient.’”

“I had really bad examples of Christians in my life. Who would say one thing and do another, so they were there my direct example of who Jesus was. I didn’t take it as seriously because I didn’t have good examples,” Bieber said of his childhood faith and the shame that came to him every time he failed.

Bieber has sold 105 million records in the US alone, making him one of the world’s best-selling music artists. He recently released his new album, Changes and said while he is not pushing his belief on anyone but he hopes his testimony can help others realize they too can change.
