By Henry Villarama - Public Domain Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is well known for his incredible success in both the wrestling world and Hollywood, but not as many people are familiar with his faith. Over the years, Dwayne has hinted at his belief in God, describing his faith as a “special relationship” that helped him through some of the most difficult moments in his life. For example, when a serious injury ended his dreams of becoming a professional football player, Dwayne fell into depression. It was during this low point that he says his faith in God helped him get back on his feet and pursue a new path.
Though Dwayne doesn’t talk about his faith in great detail, he often expresses gratitude for his blessings and acknowledges God’s role in his success. He’s been known to post motivational messages, crediting his faith for keeping him grounded. While Dwayne doesn’t claim to follow a specific Christian denomination, it’s clear that faith has a place in his life.
But the question remains: Is Dwayne Johnson a Christian? Only Dwayne and God truly know the answer to that. While Dwayne may speak positively about God, being a Christian is about more than just acknowledging God’s presence. It involves recognizing our need for forgiveness and trusting in Jesus Christ as our Savior.
Now, some of you may wonder why I often mention the Ten Commandments when sharing the Gospel. The Bible tells us that the law acts as a “schoolmaster” that leads us to Christ (Galatians 3:24). This means that while we aren’t saved by following the law, it helps bring us knowledge of sin. By understanding God’s law, we can see how we’ve fallen short and realize our need for a Savior.
For instance, consider the following commandments:
Romans 3:23 reminds us that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” and it’s through understanding the law that we come to realize just how much we need God’s forgiveness. In fact, the Bible also says that “the law is good, if one uses it lawfully” (1 Timothy 1:8). This means that when the law is used for the purpose God intended—helping us understand our sin—it’s a good thing.
So, when I bring up the law, it’s to show that we all need a Savior. The good news is that God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take the punishment for our sins. By repenting (turning away from our sins) and trusting in Jesus, we can receive forgiveness and eternal life.
Whether Dwayne Johnson has made this decision is something only he and Jesus Christ know. But as Christians, we should be praying for him. Let’s pray that Dwayne continues to grow in his relationship with God, and that his influence might encourage others to seek out their own faith in Christ. And if you’re reading this and haven’t yet placed your trust in Jesus, I encourage you to do the same. God’s gift of forgiveness and eternal life is available to everyone, no matter who they are.

For instance, consider the following commandments:
- Lying: Have you ever told a lie, no matter how small? That breaks the 9th commandment.
- Stealing: Taking anything that isn’t yours, even something small, breaks the 8th commandment.
- Using God’s Name in Vain: Ever said “Oh my God” casually? That’s breaking the 3rd commandment.
- Lusting: Jesus taught that looking at someone with lust is like committing adultery in your heart, breaking the 7th commandment.
