What are Christians to make of President Donald Trump's comments about wanting to get into heaven? The commander-in-chief's recent proclamations reignited a theological debate about faith and works — and sparked a litany of questions.

"President Donald Trump's recent comments suggesting he could earn his way to Heaven by ending the Ukraine-Russia war prompted a flurry of theological debate on social media regarding good works, salvation and the state of the president's soul," The Christian Post's Jon Brown recently wrote, noting Trump said the following during a "Fox & Friends" interview: "I want to try and get to Heaven if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I hear I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole."
