The Rev. Franklin Graham made headlines this week after President Donald Trump shared a letter Graham wrote him about salvation — a powerful explanation of the Gospel message.
Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, told CBN News he wrote the letter last October after Trump’s comments about eternity went viral.
At the time, the president commented about trying to get to heaven and, at one point, said he “might not be heaven-bound,” as Graham noted.

“This letter was written in October, after President Trump had made a comment to the media — maybe in jest — about not knowing if he would make it to heaven,” the evangelist said. “I wanted him to know what the Bible says and that he could be sure.”
Graham wasn’t done there, explaining the core of the Gospel message.
“It’s not by works, it is through repenting of your sins and putting your faith in God’s Son, Jesus Christ,” he said. “I think it was appropriate that President Trump shared this truth with everyone on Palm Sunday.”
