Pop star Justin Bieber is opening up about his Christian faith in a recent livestream that’s gaining widespread attention. In the candid discussion, the 31-year-old singer shared his thoughts on God, morality, and what it means to be a man trying to live with purpose and integrity.
The livestream, clips of which were shared on YouTube, shows Bieber sitting over fast-food takeout with friends as he speaks about the Bible and life’s challenges. “It rains on the just and the unjust,” he said, emphasizing that everyone faces hardship regardless of who they are. “Bad ____ happens to everybody, you know? Bad ____ happens to good people, good ____ happens to bad people. … Everyone’s on the same equal playing ground, and that’s hard for people to really comprehend or want to digest because I think it makes us feel better to be like, ‘Well, I’m better than this guy.’”

“I don’t want to think I’m better than anybody ’cause you don’t know what someone’s born into,” he added.
The conversation also turned to morality and personal responsibility. Bieber referenced Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount when talking about purity and self-control. “If you even think of a woman with lust it’s the same thing as actually doing it; committing adultery or whatever,” he said, referring to Matthew 5:28. “So if it even just crosses your mind for one second, if you treat a man with anger or something, it’s the same as killing a man, Scripture says.”
Bieber also spoke about God’s mercy and how many people struggle to feel loved or worthy. “Someone’s probably struggling with their own self-image of like, ‘You know, am I worthy of love?’ And God says you are,” he said. “You know what I mean? I don’t make the rules. But Jesus says that, and I really believe Him.”
He went on to describe his belief in Christ’s sacrifice in vivid terms. “He put on skin and bones and came onto this Earth as a person, as a human,” Bieber said. “Lived a sinless life so that we don’t have to be focusing on sin because none of us can do the right thing all the time. And then He literally went to the cross, was lashed, whipped, made fun of, then He rose on the third day defeating death, Hell, and the grave. Now we get to live free and rather than focus on sin, now we can focus on Jesus, the wonderful savior. And I really think He’s the king of the world, bro. He’s the king of Hollywood. He’s the king of L.A., bro. He’s the king.”
Later in the discussion, Bieber reflected on his approach to relationships and business, saying he’s no longer interested in partnerships built solely on mutual benefit. “That’s what, like, business is these days,” he said. “It’s just like, ‘I scratch your back, you scratch mine.’ And you guys, it’s not based on love.”
When asked how he first learned about his faith, Bieber recalled memorizing Bible verses as a child because his mother rewarded him for doing so. “I would get a gold star. So I would just memorize it,” he said. Although he doesn’t always remember the exact reference, Bieber said the words return to him when he needs them most. “The Scripture says, ‘I will remind you the things that I’ve told you’ and He just reminds me,” he said. “Because He knows what I want. He knows that I want this for other people. So I think He puts it to my brain.”
