Justin Bieber is featured in a video for Brandon Burke's #iPledge campaign, and though he only gives a brief interview after Burke's song, it's definitely the highlight of the four-and-a-half minute clip! The subject matter is obviously very serious and close to Bieber's heart, and he almost seems at a loss for words when trying to explain the concept of divine forgiveness.

“God loved the world so much he gave up his own son, right?” Justin says. “Imagine, like, someone killing your son. Like a bunch of people killing your [son]. These are your people, right? It’s like, how are you killing my son? That’s my son. It’s gonna be hard for you to forgive. God forgave everyone and they killed his son. That shows how much grace God has.”

We think it's great that the 20-year-old pop star is backing a campaign he believes in, especially if this keeps him out of trouble. The #iPledge campaign is trying to raise one million pledges for God, and over the past few months, it seems like Bieber has made more of an effort to get back to his Christian roots.

Back in 2011 he told Rolling Stone that he believes he has a relationship with Jesus and he talks to him regularly, adding that "he's the reason I'm here." While Bieber is covered in tattoos, he has several that have an obvious connection to his faith, including praying hands and a portrait of Jesus.

And back in February the Biebs attempted to get baptized at Hillsong Church in New York, but he was unable to find a pool in time. Apparently Bieber is a fan of Hillsong, and back in September he tweeted at Pastor Carl Lentz and wrote, "Amazing sermon at church this morning. Love you man. I broke down today."
