WASHINGTON — President Trump has been assured about the fate of his immortal soul, according to a letter he posted on Sunday on Truth Social on Palm Sunday.
Franklin Graham, the son of a late legendary televangelist, assured the commander in chief in a private letter that his “soul is secure,” and he is “bound for heaven” if he accepts Jesus Christ as God, in the note sent last year.
Graham, a key evangelical ally of Trump, wrote to him last year after the president jokingly questioned whether or not he would make it to heaven.
“It is an important issue to know for certain that your soul is secure and will spend eternity in the presence of God,” Graham wrote in an Oct. 15, 2025, letter that Trump shared on Truth Social Sunday. “The only One who can save us from Hell is Jesus Christ.”
“The only way to Heaven is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ,” he added. “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 son of the late evangelist icon Billy Graham pointed to the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that Trump’s team helped broker at that time, as well as the freeing of the last Israeli hostages, which he called “incredible accomplishments.”
Days earlier, Trump quipped to reporters aboard Air Force One that he was uncertain about his fate after he dies.
“You know, I’m being a little cute. I don’t think there’s anything gonna get me in heaven. I really don’t,” Trump told reporters at the time — in a rare moment of public self-doubt.
Last month, during the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump changed his tune and grew more bullish about whether or not he will make it through the pearly gates.
“I was just having fun. I really think I probably should make it. I mean, I’m not a perfect candidate, but I did a hell of a lot of good for perfect people,” the president declared, resolutely.
Trump grew more introspective about God and the afterlife after his brush with death following the assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pa., when a bullet came within a quarter inch of killing him back in 2024.
In August 2025, for example, he revealed that he is trying to get to heaven. Trump has also mused at rallies about his parents being in heaven.
Graham has long been a backer of Trump, having indicated as far back as 2011 that the real estate mogul was his preferred candidate.
In his letter to Trump, Graham also quoted Romans 10:9: “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.”
