According to him, his decision to read the Bible and learn about Jesus Christ was not for religious reasons but based on personal conviction.
Speaking further, the Godwin crooner said that when Christians tie their identity strictly to the cross, it is like trying to nail Christ all over again.

He added that his video was getting too long, but he wasn't concerned about what people said. He noted that people would know he is a follower of Jesus Christ through the love he shows to others.
Korede Bello speaks more about Jesus Christ
Expanding on his message, Korede Bello emphasised the love of Jesus Christ and the meaning of the cross. He explained that the cross represents sin, misdeeds and an old identity, all of which were nailed to it.
