The poem, “The God of Love and Wrath,” portrays God’s dual nature as both loving and wrathful. It highlights His boundless mercy, seen in sending Christ to save the lost, alongside His daily anger toward the wicked, as sin stirs His righteous fury. While His justice burns against those who reject Him, His love offers grace and a call to repentance. The sonnet concludes by affirming that God’s love and wrath coexist, defining Him as a King who both redeems and judges without end.

A God of love, His mercy flows unbound,
Yet wrath ignites where wickedness takes root,
Each day His gaze surveys the sin-strewn ground,
His righteous anger burns, a fierce pursuit.

For love He sent His Son to bear the cost,
A grace to call the lost from dark’s embrace,
But those who scorn His law, in pride embossed,
Shall meet the fury written on His face.

His heart delights in justice, pure and whole,
No sin escapes the fire of His disdain,
Yet tender is His call to every soul,
To turn from evil, cleansed by holy rain.

Both love and wrath in Him forever blend,
A King who saves, whose judgment knows no end.
