You Are Heaven Bound - Franklin Graham Tells Trump in Letter Shared on Palm
Donald Trump has shared a personal letter from evangelist Franklin Graham, saying it offers reassurance about his spiritual future and his path to heaven.
The former president posted the letter on Truth Social on March 29 to mark Palm Sunday, the Christian holy day observed one week before Easter.
The note, dated October 15, 2025, was sent after Trump helped broker a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas and the return of hostages.
In the letter, Graham, a longtime ally and son of the late preacher Billy Graham, praised Trump’s role in the breakthrough.
“Congratulations! The cease-fire between Israel and Hamas and the hostages being returned home are incredible accomplishments. Your leadership is historic,” Graham wrote.
“This is an answer to much prayer. Jesus said, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers,’ and Mr. President, that is what you are.”
Graham then turned to comments Trump had previously made about whether he might make it to heaven.
He referenced remarks in which Trump had suggested he may not be “heaven bound,” saying that even if the comment was made jokingly, it touched on an important matter of faith.
“Maybe you responded in jest, but 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.
The letter went on to emphasize Christian teachings about faith and salvation, with Graham stating that neither success nor status can secure a place in heaven.
“The only way to Heaven is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ,” he wrote, before adding that if Trump accepted that belief by faith and invited Christ into his heart, “you ARE heaven bound, I promise you.”
Graham also quoted Romans 10:9, writing: “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the d3ad, you will be saved.”
Trump has publicly spoken about faith and the afterlife several times in recent months. During an August 2025 appearance on Fox & Friends, he said he was “trying to get to heaven if possible,” while joking that he had been told he was “at the bottom of the totem pole.”
Not long after that, fundraising emails linked to Trump’s campaign also carried a similar message, telling supporters: “I want to try and get to Heaven.”
