On March 29, 2026, US President Donald Trump published a letter from renowned evangelist Franklin Graham, in which he explained the only path to salvation of the soul. The letter, dated October 2025, was sent by Graham to the president after his public doubts about his own entry into heaven.
The preacher congratulated Trump on achieving a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, calling him a "peacemaker." However, Graham emphasized that no historical accomplishments and leadership qualities guarantee eternal life. "Good works, prominence, success - none of these gets us to Heaven," he wrote in the message.
The evangelist explained that the only way to avoid hell is to trust in the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ, not in one's own strength. "You can't save yourself; I can't save myself," Graham emphasized. He added that God requires a person to turn away from their sins and believe in the Resurrection of the Savior.
Graham promised Trump that he would "definitely get to heaven" if he sincerely accepts Christ into his heart. At the end of the letter, he quoted the Epistle to the Romans: "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."
The publication of the letter occurred amid criticism of Trump from believers for his harsh statements toward enemies and refusal to forgive opponents. Nevertheless, the politician's supporters expressed hope that he has begun to seriously think about eternity and show the humility necessary for a Christian.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that a court in the USA recognized that Meta and YouTube harm mental health.
