The sonnet, titled “I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: A Sonnet of Cross-Centered Triumph”, is inspired by Romans 1:16 and celebrates the unashamed proclamation of the gospel, emphasizing the cross of Jesus Christ as the source of salvation and glory. It boasts in the cross’s power to save, highlighting the union of God’s love and justice in Christ’s sacrificial death. The gospel is portrayed as a transformative force that opens eyes, offers hope, and justifies believers through faith. Rejecting worldly gains, the sonnet exalts Christ’s name and the cross as the eternal anchor of hope and glory, urging bold and joyful preaching of this truth.

In Christ’s great cross, our boast shall ever rise,
No shame in gospel truth, for it is power (Romans 1:16)
To save the soul, to open blinded eyes,
And bloom salvation’s hope in darkest hour.
The cross, where love and justice met as one,
Where Christ, the Lamb, for sinners freely died,
Proclaims God’s grace to all beneath the sun,
His righteousness through faith now justified.
No worldly gain compares to this great prize,
No fleeting boast can match the Savior’s name.
In Him alone our hearts and hopes abide,
His cross our glory, never to disclaim.
So let us boldly preach, with joy profess,
The cross of Christ, our anthem to express!

The sonnet based on Isaiah 1:18 reflects God’s invitation to reason and seek forgiveness. It portrays sin as scarlet and crimson stains that God promises to cleanse, making the soul pure and white as snow. The poem emphasizes divine mercy, the transformative power of grace, and the call to turn from darkness to God’s light through repentance and faith.

“Come now, let us reason,” speaks the Lord,
His voice a balm to hearts in sin’s embrace.
Though scarlet stains your soul, His sacred word
Proclaims a path to purity and grace.
Your crimson guilt, like blood upon the snow,
He offers to make white as winter’s gleam.
Through mercy’s might, His love shall overflow,
And wash away the shadows of your dream.
No deed too dark, no fault beyond His reach,
His reasoned call invites the soul to turn.
In humble steps, His righteousness beseech,
And find the fire of His compassion burn.
O hear His plea, let reason guide your way,
For grace transforms the night to endless day.

The poem, titled “Hallelujah to Jesus Christ: His Blood Redeems Our Souls with Forgiveness and Eternal Salvation”, inspired by Colossians 1:13-14 (KJV), joyfully celebrates the triumphant redemption and forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ’s sacrificial blood. It depicts God’s powerful deliverance of humanity from the darkness of sin into the kingdom of His beloved Son, highlighting Christ’s love and mercy as the source of eternal salvation. With a victorious and hope-filled tone, the poem exalts Jesus as the Redeemer, proclaiming His glory and the freedom found in His cross. It concludes with heartfelt praise and unwavering hope in Christ, affirming His eternal reign as the Savior.

Colossians 1:13-14 (KJV): “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

From darkness’ grip, from sin’s cruel chain,
He broke our bonds, He crushed our pain!
The Father’s grace, in power divine,
Has brought us to His Son’s design.

O Jesus Christ, our glorious Lord,
Your blood has won our soul’s reward!
Through sacrifice, our guilt is gone,
Forgiveness flows where love has shone.

No shadow stands where light prevails,
Your cross, O Christ, forever hails!
Redeemed, we rise, by mercy free,
All glory to our King shall be!

With joyful hearts, we sing Your praise,
Exalt Your name through endless days.
In You, our hope shall never dim,
Jesus, our Redeemer’s hymn!

The poem describes Heaven as a glorious, eternal reality radiant with divine light and love. It depicts Heaven’s gates of pearl and gold opening to souls, crystal streams and emerald fields blooming with divine beauty, and the Tree of Life bearing sacred fruit. Angels’ songs fill the air, free of pain or sorrow, as God’s presence illuminates all, uniting redeemed souls in eternal peace and joy, reflecting His grace and glory.

Beyond the veil of mortal sight,
Where endless day outshines the night,
Heaven gleams, a radiant sea,
Of love and light’s eternity.

Its gates, aglow with pearl and gold,
Swing wide for souls both young and old.
Each step resounds on crystal streams,
Where beauty weaves celestial dreams.

The air is song, a chorus sweet,
Of angels’ joy where hearts complete.
No tear, no pain, no shadow falls,
But peace enfolds its sacred halls.

Emerald fields in glory bloom,
With colors bright through endless room.
The Tree of Life, its fruit divine,
Bestows a taste of love’s design.

There, faces shine with stories told,
Of grace redeemed, of hearts made bold.
United, free, in boundless grace,
Each soul reflects the Savior’s face.

No sun, no moon, yet all is bright,
For God Himself is Heaven’s light.
His presence wraps in warm embrace,
The splendor of His holy place.

Oh, Heaven vast, where wonders soar,
A home where love shall reign forevermore.
In every breath, in every sight,
The splendors sing of pure delight.
