Ephesians 2:8-10
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Donald Trump has been active recently in trying to bring Russia and Ukraine to have face to face discussions about bringing the war to an end. While his motives for ending it include a Nobel peace prize, which he openly talks about, he recently suggested another reason. Last week President Trump was quoted as saying, “I want to try and get to Heaven if possible. I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I really hit the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to Heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”
He needs to look at the Bible if he wants to discover how to get to heaven and he would realise that it is not by doing good works, as wonderful as helping broker a peace deal would be. It is only because of the work Jesus did on the cross and through His resurrection… a gift of God.
