As with all “celebrity conversions” it’s important to
watch what they do and not just listen to what they
say. This past Sunday we talked about an
interview with Justin Bieber about his new found
relationship with Christ. He said, ““The whole thing
with religion is you present yourself holy and bring
your offerings so that God can bless you, when the
whole point of the relationship [should be], “No, I’m
gonna do this because he loves me. I’m gonna do
this because he’s amazing and not because [I]
have to, [but] because [I] want to.” It’s not a “have
to.” It should be just like a personal relationship.
Like, “Hey, I love you because you first loved me…
My voice, I’m not gonna let it not be heard
anymore. I’m gonna use my voice for a reason. I
think that people, as soon as they start hearing me
saying I’m a Christian, they’re like, “Whoa Justin,
back up, take a step back.” Also, I do not want to
shove this down anyone’s throat. I just wanna
honestly live like Jesus. Not be Jesus - I could
never - [be like Jesus but] He created a pretty
awesome template of how to love people and how
to be gracious and kind. If you believe it, he died
for our sins. Sometimes when I don’t feel like doing
something, but I know it’s right, I remember, I’m
pretty sure Jesus didn’t feel like going to the cross
and dying….”
Jesus did not say “by their words you will know
them,” but “by their fruit you shall know them.
Remember when Larry Flynt claimed to be born
again? And yet we must remember this same
standard applies to us as well. “Do we walk our
talk?”
