Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are back together and seemingly spending as much time as they possibly can getting reacquainted with one another.

Following a couple of early-morning bike rides in Los Angeles earlier this week, Gomez and Bieber stepped out together on Friday night for a romantic dinner date at Morton's Steakhouse after first attending a church service in the area.

While it is unclear when or how Gomez and Bieber first reconnected, a source told The Sun Online that their pastor, Carl Lentz, encouraged the on-again, off-again couple to give their relationship another shot on the heels of Gomez's kidney transplant over the summer.

"They started texting when she was in hospital for her kidney transplant," the insider said. "Where Are U Now?"

Bieber found out about Gomez's surgery through the press and felt upset that his former flame didn't tell him herself.

Although Gomez and Bieber's past relationship had been plagued by cheating rumors, Bieber has reportedly turned over a new leaf and left his badboy ways behind him as he focuses on his faith.

"He has been going to church every week and spends all his time with his pastor Carl Lentz - Carl has been encouraging 'reconciliation' between the two - to heal their friendship at least - and Justin basically has been asking her for her forgiveness this whole time," the source continued.

While Gomez and Bieber have't yet spoken out about their relationship, the Sun Online source said that Bieber has majorly cleaned up his life. When it comes to Gomez, he believes she is his one true love. Still, he made sure to run their potential reconciliation by Lentz.

"In the past Justin has been 'led astray' or let's say gone off the rails behaviour-wise in different relationships," the insider noted. "Carl wants to help Justin rebuild his life in a solid way and the woman he is with - his romantic partner - has a big influence on him."

Prior to her reunion with Bieber, Gomez dated singer The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, for 10 months. As fans will recall, the couple was first seen together in January and appeared to be going strong at least until midway through October, when they were photographed with one another at Universal Studios in Hollywood, California,
