Yet, throughout his life, Lincoln fought with God. In his early
years in Illinois, he rejected even the existence of God and
became the village atheist. In time, this changed but still he
wrestled with the truth of the Bible, preachers, doctrines, the
will of God, the providence of God, and then, finally, God’s
purposes in the Civil War. Still, on the day he was shot, Lincoln
said he longed to go to Jerusalem to walk in the Savior’s steps.
