President Donald Trump has shared a letter on Truth Social from evangelist Franklin Graham, offering advice on getting into heaven.
The letter, which is dated 15 October, 2025, says: “If you accept that by faith and invite Him to come into your heart, you ARE heaven bound, I promise you.”
His words were written in response to comments Trump made at the time, in which he doubted whether he would be going to heaven. On 13 October, 2025, Trump told reporters on Air Force One: “I don’t think there’s anything that’s gonna get me in heaven. I really don’t. I think I’m not, maybe, heaven-bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to make heaven. But I’ve made life better for a lot of people.”
Two days later, Graham, a well known missionary in the evangelical movement, wrote to the president. He congratulated him on the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, and lauded his “historic” leadership.
He then said: “This week you commented to the media that you might not be heaven bound. Maybe you responded in jest, but it is an important issue to know for certain that your soul is secure and will spend eternity in the presence of God. The only One who can save us from Hell is Jesus Christ. You can’t save yourself; I can’t save myself. Good works, prominence, success—none of these get us to Heaven. The only way to Heaven is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
“God requires us to turn from our sins and, by faith, believe in our heart that Jesus came to earth, died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and God raised Him to life on the third day. If you accept that by faith and invite Him to come into your heart, you ARE heaven bound, I promise you.
“The Bible says, “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
“You continue to be in our prayers.”
At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this week, Franklin Graham urged attendees to “do everything we can” to reelect Donald Trump, prompting confusion because Trump is constitutionally barred from running again.
Graham later clarified that he misspoke and meant voters should support Trump’s policies, not his personal reelection.
