Wide receiver for the New York Giants, Odell Beckham Jr., has recently made a profession of faith in God amidst allegations that he illegally attempted to pay a woman $1,000 for sex.
Beckham has since denied the allegations; however, that hasn’t hindered him from pronouncing himself “forgiven” during his recent baptism in Jerusalem. He was baptized in the Jordan River during his tour of the Holy Land.
“Fresh Start… What a time! #Jerusalem #ImForgiven”, the NFL star wrote on Instagram earlier this week.
Some have called it “odd timing” for Beckham to declare himself forgiven during a time when he could be facing a major lawsuit, while others are thrilled that the wide receiver has professed his trust and faith in God.
“I couldn’t of [sic] asked for anything more!!!!” he wrote in another post. “God I can’t thank u enough for this one. My journey is just beginning…”
