Each computer-generated video shows Jesus telling viewers that if they believe in God, they should share this video with their friends and family and comment, “I believe.”
The videos contain different blessings for different people and occasions.
Many of them begin with Jesus saying: “Hello.”
wrote Brandon Dean, a professor of religious studies at the University of Iowa Conversation“I argue that this TikTok phenomenon, in which viewers are promised good luck for sharing, liking and commenting on computer-generated videos of Jesus, is close to what is known as the prosperity gospel – that is, the Christian belief that God will reward faith with earthly comforts, such as health and wealth.” .
The “Welcome Jesus Home” video, pinned to the top of her TikTok profile, is the most popular video on the page with 22.2 million views.
“This video brings you a special visitor, right from my home. He is someone I know well, his name is Jesus Christ. He is ready to enter your life, provide protection for your family, and purify your heart with his love.

The video itself offers a kind of condemnation for users who don’t share the clip with friends and family.
“If you refuse, remember what he said. “If you deny me before me, I will deny you before the Father,” says the Lord Jesus, reciting Matthew 3:10.
The Daily Believer has over 813,000 followers and over 9.2 million likes.
Christian TikTok has become a popular search, with a wealth of videos and accounts dedicated to the religion.
In 2020, a TikToker named Felicia, a self-proclaimed atheist, revealed that she turned to God after watching videos like TikTok Jesus, Christine Post Reports.
The user appealed to her followers to “help” because she was feeling conflicted after identifying as an atheist for a long time.
“Now I’m confused because all I see are videos about God and Jesus, and I actually prayed that night, and I don’t know why,” she explained in a video that was removed because her previous account was hacked.
I think I need help because I don’t know where to start. I don’t understand how, if you guys claim that he loves me so much, I don’t understand why I denied him so many times.
She released another video the next day, in which she said she had overcome her fear of vulnerability with her new faith.
