Donald Trump, Ross Douthat, and biblical forgiveness

President Trump sparked discussion after telling Ross Douthat on 60 Minutes that he hopes to go to heaven but probably cannot forgive some of his political enemies. His comments raise questions that extend well beyond politics: What does Christianity actually teach about salvation and forgiveness? Scripture makes clear that we are saved by grace rather than works, yet that same grace should transform how we treat those who hurt us. Biblical forgiveness is not a feeling or an excuse for wrongdoing—it is a choice that can set both parties free.
