Justin Bieber thanks Jesus Christ on Instagram for making him feel ‘loved, chosen, and forgiven’

Justin Bieber has made it no secret that he holds Christianity – and the values that come with it – close to his heart.

And on Friday, the 26-year-old pop star publicly thanked Jesus Christ on Instagram for allowing him to feel ‘loved, chosen, and forgiven’ despite years of past indiscretions.   

‘Thank you Jesus for my life. Thank you for your forgiveness! Thank you for showing me I am enough,’ began Bieber in the caption of his latest selfie.

‘Thank you that I no longer have to carry shame but can walk with my chest up and head held high knowing I am loved, chosen, and forgiven! 

He then urged his 140million followers to turn to Faith, when they feel they are struggling to overcome mistakes in their past.

‘If you struggle with your past give it to Jesus! He isn’t burdened by it! He loves you and is honored to know all of little details good and bad in your life! He isn’t angry with you, he wants the best for you,’ concluded the Baby singer in his caption.

Justin then reposted his selfie onto his Instagram Story and wrote: ‘Jesus loves you [whether] you believe it or not.’

A few hours later, Bieber returned to Instagram to upload a moody self-portrait that showed him with his back turned to the camera as he gazed off into the night.

He sported a denim jacket, a green trucker hat, and had his hands tucked into the pockets of his plaid pajama pants. 

‘None of us asked to be here, that means life is purely a gift,’ wrote the Grammy nominee in the post’s caption.

Hailey has been married to Justin since 2018, after rekindling their on-off romantic relationship.

The couple tied the knot at a New York courthouse shortly after reconciling their relationship and getting engaged in the Bahamas.

They married in front of friends and family in a more lavish affair at the South Carolina resort a year later.
