Sonnet: God Dislikes Sins Not Sinners

The Lord is holy, so He wants all men
To keep their bodies, minds very sacred,
Obey Commandments to enter Heaven,
Perform rituals, whatever He has said.

Sin is one thing that God greatly abhors;
Sin is a stain on soul God must remove;
God knows by nature that man often errs;
He therefore, forgives him because of love.

A sin done once attracts sure punishment;
Sin is like cancer defying a cure;
God has with Man a certain agreement,
To keep Commandments and Heaven ensure.

God’s only Son died on the Cross for Man,
Redeeming sinners, to ensure Heaven.
