From: Hope NationJustin Bieber's performance of "Everything Hallelujah" at the FIFA World Cup Final is getting people talking—not just about his song choice, but about the powerful message of Jesus behind it.
He first performed the song during Coachella, but still fans were likely expecting him to perform one of his chart-topping hits like "Baby," "Stay," or "Sorry." However, Bieber chose to slow things down and point millions of viewers toward hope and Jesus. It definitely puts a new spin on "Beliebers," the nickname given to his fan base back in 2010.
Not everyone was thrilled with the unexpected performance, but many Christians saw it as a bold reminder that our platform—whether it's a stage, a classroom, an office, or our neighborhood—is ultimately an opportunity to glorify God. As Colossians 3:17 reminds us,
"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."
For Bieber, this moment also reflects a faith journey he's spoken about openly for years. Since recommitting his life to Christ, he's consistently shared how his relationship with Jesus has reshaped his priorities, his purpose, and even his music.
On one of the world's biggest stages, Justin Bieber chose to sing "Hallelujah" instead of another pop anthem—using the moment to praise God for His faithfulness and blessings. Whether you're a longtime Belieber or simply tuned in for the match, it's a reminder that every stage can become a platform to point people to Jesus.
God has been on display throughout the World Cup. Check out to this powerful praise and prayer moment between players once again reminding us that no matter the outcome of the game, the greatest victory is found in Christ.
