Justin Bieber may have girls in a wailing frenzy, but his first love is God and his family, and according to MTV UK, Pattie Mallette, his mother, claims her son will ‘stay pure’ until he meets the right girl.
“He’s expressed his desire to stay pure, and honour women, and treat women with respect. So hopefully that stays valid.”
The teen heartthrob, YouTube sensation and social media super-star Justin Bieber has just scooped the choice music male artist award at the Teen Choice Awards, and did not delay in giving Jesus a mention.
“I want to say that anything is possible … You got to keep God first and always remember to keep family first. Jesus loves every one of you!”
In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Bieber was asked how he reconciled religion and his faith with the temptations of Hollywood.
He labelled Hollywood a scary place with a mix of a lot of good and bad things going on, but it’s a place where he says he can live his dream.
Then on religion and faith: “Basically, I don’t even consider religion. Like, I’m a Christian, I believe in God, I believe that Jesus died on a cross for my sins. I believe that I have a relationship and I’m able to talk to him and really, he’s the reason I’m here, so I definitely have to remember that. As soon as I start forgetting, I’ve got to click back and be like, you know, this is why I’m here.”
Recently Bieber toured the Holy Land and along with his father, got a Jesus tattoo on his left rib cage and regularly credits God with helping him to stay grounded, something his mother has tried to instil in her son.
In an interview with Baptist Press, Mallette said she kept Justin grounded through prayer, by surrounding him with good people and reminding him that he’s here for a reason. “To whom much is given, much is required,” she said.
