The sonnet explores the transformation of perspective through Christ and scripture, where newfound faith leads others to falsely accuse the speaker of deceit. Despite being labeled a liar, the follower of Jesus Christ is urged to remain steadfast, mirroring Christ’s own perseverance through mockery. The final stanza emphasizes resilience, love over anger, and trust in Christ’s truth to vindicate the speaker’s change as genuine. The rhyme scheme of the last stanza is ABBA, fitting the Petrarchan sonnet structure.

When Christ’s pure light does pierce the shadowed mind,
And scriptures’ truth remolds the heart’s deep core,
The world, once blind, now scorns what it abhorred—
Your change they brand as falsehood, cruelly unkind.

They see not how the Spirit’s flame refines,
How grace rewrites the soul’s unyielding scroll.
Your words, though true, they deem a traitor’s role,
For faith’s new lens reveals what doubt confines.

Yet stand you firm, though labeled as a lie,
For Christ’s own path was mocked by those astray.
His cross, His word, your anchor shall abide.

Let love, not wrath, your steadfast heart reply—
Through slander’s storm, His truth will light your way,
And prove your change no falsehood, but His bride.
