As a believer in Christ, he firmly believes that it is not our past which defines us, but God and the purpose to which we dedicate our lives. God left His home in Heaven, lived as a man, with all the pain and temptations that we have, to redeem us as His children, taking our sins on Himself, so that we may live with Him forever.
