Canadian pop star Justin Bieber is sincerely trying to repair his bad boy image and develop good Christian values. He earlier created a video of apology for his arrogance and foolish ways, made amends to his mother, and got baptized by Pastor Carl Lentz.

Now, the singer is sharing his faith on his Instagram account (@justinbieber). He posted a photo of himself reading and captioned it with a Bible verse from Psalm 43. It reads: "Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked."

He then wrote, "I'm not religious nor do I think I have ANYTHING figured out that's why I call out on God to help me through what I can't do on my own. Developing my relationship with God has been the coolest thing I've experienced, to know that I'm not alone and I don't have to live in fear."

Bieber added that it's such a wonderful feeling and he hopes his fans would "never feel like I'm pushing anything on you," but instead think of his post as his way of "sharing the good news I've felt in my own life."

The photo has received over a million likes already, with Bieber's fans continuously cheering him on. An Instagram user commented, "If you only knew how good (it) is to read this coming from you. You're on the right way. Keep going. He's with you no matter where you are!"

Another person also wrote that he's not actually a fan of Bieber's music, although he has always respected the singer. "I've never stopped believing in God's ability to reach you man! You have a good sense of humor, you don't let the pressure of fame keep you from smiling and you have a really good heart man. I can tell. I never stopped praying for God to reach out to you man! Glad to see you hanging with Hillsong man! Keep it up! This is just the beginning! Amen!" he commented.
