“If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s pretty– I want to try to get to heaven if possible, I’m hearing that I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole,” Trump joked.
“But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons,” he added.
Respectfully Mr. President, and in hopes of reassuring you, here are a couple of scriptures.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast."
-
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NASB 1995)
Your works won't save you, it's your faith in the Lord Jesus that saves you. It's a gift freely given. There's no way to work for it and no price that you can pay for it.
"For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead."
-
James 2:26 (NASB95)
However, that doesn't mean that we don't work. It just means we can do nothing without the Lord. Sometimes being Christian means holding two seemingly contradictory ideas in your head and realizing both are true.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."
-
Matthew 5:9 (NASB95)
"If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men."
-
Romans 12:18 (NASB95)
Your push for peace is a great thing, fully supported by Scripture. One that honors God through His Son, Jesus. I pray for your success and I pray that you've been reborn in the Spirit and that you worship the Lord in truth and in spirit. God bless you and your family.
