Over the weekend, President Trump said he wasn’t sure he would make it into Heaven. While some criticized his seemingly lacking theology, others expressed their empathy and concern for the President.

We may not know where President Trump will end up when he dies, but God does. Let’s pray He would draw the President closer to Him, and let’s pray that President Trump would humble himself before the Lord.

President Donald Trump prompted concern among some of his Christian supporters for comments he made over the weekend, suggesting he doesn’t believe he’s going to Heaven.

“I don’t think there’s anything going to get me in Heaven,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday on his way to Israel to sign a peace deal ending the war in Gaza. “I think I’m maybe not Heaven-bound. I may be in Heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to make Heaven.”

Trump was responding to a question that asked if brokering peace in the Middle East could help him “get into Heaven,” which was a reference to comments he made in August that prompted a flurry of theological debate when he appeared to claim that ending the Russia-Ukraine war could help determine his eternal state.

“I want to try and get to Heaven if possible,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” on Aug. 19. “I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I hear I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole.”

“But if I can get to Heaven, this will be one of the reasons,” he added about peace in Ukraine at the time.

Trump said Sunday that his comments last summer were an example of him “being a little cute,” though some took to social media both in August and this week to warn against his apparent works-based view of salvation.

“He needs better spiritual advisors around him if he believes this,” radio host Dana Loesch said. “God’s grace covers all, by belief not deed.”

“Reconciliation with God can’t be earned by anyone. Salvation is a gift, offered by grace to the whole world and received by faith in Jesus Christ,” wrote Babylon Bee founder Seth Dillon.

Jenna Ellis, a Christian who formerly served as Trump’s attorney, said his comments are “heartbreaking, if he means it.”

“Does he? Either way, Trump continues to make it difficult for Christians to defend his worldview on God and truth,” she tweeted. “The truth: There isn’t any THING that’s going to get him into heaven — its not by works or peace deals or political comebacks. He has to repent of sin and confess Christ is Lord and Savior.”

“I hope that Trump is or becomes born again. As John MacArthur wisely observed, the only proof or evidence of salvation is a transformed life,” she added.

Ellis told The Christian Post that she believes Charlie Kirk’s assassination last month has led many, including Trump, to ponder the importance of faith and life after death.

“I think after Charlie’s death, everyone is feeling like eternity is so much more serious. I mean, we knew it was, but it feels that way now,” she said.

During his eulogy for him last month, Trump honored Kirk for his outspoken Christian faith, calling him “a missionary with a noble spirit” while admitting he does not yet exhibit the grace Kirk showed toward his enemies.

Since his own near brush with death at his rally on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, some have observed that Trump has become more outspoken about faith, God and eternity.

Journalist Salena Zito, who was present at the Butler rally and wrote a bestselling book about it, said Trump has attributed his escape from an assassin’s bullet to “the hand of God.”

Some supporters expressed hope and gratitude that Trump, who famously said in 2015 he was unsure if he had ever asked God for forgiveness, is speaking about Heaven at all.

“There’s a lot of people crashing out over Trump’s ‘getting into heaven’ comments,'” conservative influencer Jack Posobiec said. “Personally, I’m glad we have a President who is willing to show humility. Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.”

“People will mock this, as they do everything and anything Trump says or does, but he is displaying incredible humility here. Butler changed him,” wrote poet Joseph Massey.

Evangelist Sean Feucht noted in a Monday video that he has personally witnessed Trump being told the Gospel and suggested that the president’s comments, even if made in jest, could indicate growing humility. He expressed optimism that Trump might be experiencing a change of heart by coming to realize that his many accomplishments cannot save him.

“He has no shortage of people that have clearly explained to him on phone calls, on conference calls, in person … about the forgiveness of sins, repentance, by grace alone you can be saved, not by works.”

“He’s heard it many, many times. However, I do think it is amazing […] that he is acknowledging now that his good works alone — all his wealth, all his fame, all his stature, all his accolades, all his power — is not enough to get him to Heaven, and he’s right. And that takes humility,” said Feucht.

“I believe God is moving his heart closer than ever before,” he continued, adding that he is praying that Trump would have a public conversion experience before he leaves office.

“Guys, just be encouraged: God’s working on his heart, there’s humility coming over him. Let’s keep praying that God would finish the work.”

Lord God,
We thank you for sending President Trump to lead America. We pray for his comments about heaven. President Trump recently made several public statements about heaven, faith, and his afterlife — saying that “I want to try and get to heaven” and “Maybe I’m not heaven‑bound.” He is signaling the world: It’s time for a spiritual shift – a call to awaken spiritually, align with truth, and act with love and compassion. Leaders should focus on moral integrity, faith, and service aligns one with higher values and principles. God, You used President Trump to drain the swamp, eliminate the deep state and stand against global corruption and moral decay. You spared his life to save America and restore America to its full greatness, and to make the world a better place. Now You will choose him again to fulfill Your purpose and let the Gospel spread around the world. God, Guide all leaders and souls walk in truth, wisdom, and love. Let the actions of all beings align with Your purpose, so that harmony, compassion, and justice may flourish on Earth. Amen

    Sadly, Trump did not drain the swamp. He became part of it. In yet another example of corruption, Trump wants pharmaceutical companies to sell directly to patients, so he is setting up a government website, TrumpRx, to funnel patients to direct sale sites. The main beneficiary of that system will be BlinkRx. Donald Trump, Jr is on the board.

    This is worse than Hunter Biden sitting on the board of a Ukrainian gas company because at least the American government wasn’t forcing Americans to buy their gas.

    The executive team of Binkrx is: Geoffrey Chaiken, Selvam Velmurugan, Aji Rajappan, Rhoda Rahaii, and Sunder Singam.

    You will notice that no right wing news sources are mentioning this. They are as corrupt as main stream media. They tell you only what you want to hear, not what you need to know.

      Trump must be intending to issue pardons to his children and associates before he leaves office.

May President Trump be aware of what happened to Belshazzar (Daniel 5) when he gave glory to himself, but Donald did acknowledge the work of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Middle East countries, which united against Hamas. We pray that he would acknowledge that only God could have carried him through all of the lawfare and that only God is the source of wisdom to carry out His best purpose and plan according to Bible prophesy. Perhaps President Trump has been chosen as God’s instrument, because he is willing to be honest that he hasn’t received the gift of the Spirit to be assured of his eternal destination. May it be a catalyst to all of us under his leadership to ask ourselves, “Do I love God with all of my heart, soul, and strength and others as myself? ” God Almighty, our Creator, knows our motives. Do we have a testimony about how Jesus has transformed our life? Pslams 51 and 32 plus II Corinthians 5: 14-21

I think that President Trump has grown to have a strong and sincere admiration for religion, appreciates the love and support he’s received from believers, and has a “common grace” sense of what is morally good and right in society that reflects what God has revealed in Scripture, and maybe for those reasons thinks that he is “part of the team.” But from his recent honest and sincere statements, I don’t think he “gets it” as to what it means to be saved. He’s gotten everything that worldly success can offer… he’s been married three times, possibly slept with prostitutes, made billions of dollars, become President and has accomplished many good things in office that were thought impossible. But all of those things, including the good ones, cannot fill the “God-shaped vacuum” in his heart that only Jesus can fill. He’s an older man now, and despite him having what world would see as “having done it all,” my hope is that the Holy Spirit is working on him to realize that “there must be more” and that he will find that “something more” in a real relationship with Christ, and not just by appreciating and supporting “religion” and religious people.

I feel that God is drawing him, and that his admiration and appreciation for religion and Christians who support and sincerely care for him may be part of that. He reminds me of being where I was at before I became a believer. I saw a lot of things I really appreciated and admired about believers, their faith and the lives they lived, things I tried to emulate but without Jesus, but it took years of being friends with them, going to their high school Bible studies, church and many discussions with their pastor before I became a believer. I pray that he would come to have a clear understanding of the gospel, recognize himself as a sinner in need of forgiveness from God, repent and truly come to know the Lord.

Let’s be clear, this is not Christianity. If Biden, Harris, Obama had made a clear statement that they had no faith, this site would be in an uproar. If a Democratic president had ICE agents shoot a man by a pepper ball who is clearly identified as a pastor and then laugh about it, this site would be talking about how the administration is anti-Christian. Instead, total silence. Now, we have young republicans revealed to be saying that they want their political opponents shot making racist statements, glorifying Hitler, wanting people gassed, etc and again, silence from here while people on this site call Democrats the party of hate and demonic. What is clear is that faith in Christ has been sold out to the Republican party. Sad and shameful. Argue all you want, it is clear that this is far from what Jesus taught.

President Trump needs to know that we have enemies but Jesus says we are not to curse them. BUT!!! The demons they yield to that steel, kill , and destroy. WE BIND and LOOSE. That is the KEY to the kingdom! The President has been doing a lot of binding and loosening lately, destroying, dividing and loosening demon tongues. He needs to understand that the battle is not against flesh and blood. Where are the spiritual warfare teachers to teach him this? I think he will listen and be receptive.
