Trump Publishes Evangelist’s Letter Emphasizing Faith


(MENAFN) Donald Trump revealed on Sunday that he had received a personal message from Franklin Graham, who reassured him that attaining salvation is possible through belief in Jesus Christ, as stated by reports.

The letter, written last October when Trump expressed uncertainty about his chances of reaching heaven, was shared on his social media platform Truth Social. In the message, Graham began by acknowledging Trump’s role in facilitating a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and the release of Israeli hostages, describing his leadership as “historic” and calling the developments “an answer to much prayer.”

Shifting to religious guidance, the evangelist stressed that achievements or status alone cannot secure eternal life, emphasizing that faith in Jesus Christ is “the only way.”

"It is an important issue to know for certain that your soul is secure and will spend eternity in the presence of God," he wrote.

Graham encouraged Trump to openly embrace faith and accept Jesus Christ, assuring him that doing so would make him “heaven bound.” He also referenced scripture and noted that the president remained in his prayers.

Trump had earlier remarked that he hoped to “try and get to heaven, if possible,” indicating that he had been told his prospects were uncertain.

The letter was composed during a period of relative calm following an October ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. However, subsequent developments have seen continued violence, with ongoing clashes resulting in casualties and widespread destruction in Gaza, according to.

Over the years, Graham has drawn criticism for controversial statements about Islam, including describing it as a “very evil and wicked religion” after the 2001 attacks in the United States, and later being quoted in 2010 as calling it “a religion of hatred … a religion of war.”
