A serial killer is driven by the voice of God to kill five killers ? in order to keep the woman he?s falling in love with, a Christian, who is giving him a conscience.

The goals and obstacles don?t line up perfectly so it feels a little disjointed.
He is killing killers because god says if he does a woman will live him? Does she already love him? If yes, then what would change that.?
If she was a good woman, him just killing would end it. If he had no conscience why would she be in love with him? I think that detail brings in confusion rather than a good question.
?Believing God told him to kill 5 people to retain the love of his devout wife. A man struggles with killing and keeping it secret from his confidant to avoid disappointing her?.
This is not your story. But the goal and obstacles are more directly aligned.
I dig it, but Killer, Kill, and Killers jump out at me.
How about:
Original logline:
A serial killer is driven by what he believes is the voice of God to kill five killers - in order to keep the woman he's falling in love with, a Christian, who is steadily giving him a conscience.?
I removed "what he believes" and I wasn't sure about "steadily". It feels redundant. I dunno.
Other ways to end it:
... who is steadily making him human again.
... who is steadily humanising him.
