When we speak of God we speak of love, because God is love.


Yes, God is love but he is also MANY other things.

You cannot look at one attribute in isolation.

God must be just. His mercy/love is at his great pleasure.

“Let’s assume that all men are guilty of sin in the sight of God. From the mass of humanity, God sovereignly decides to give mercy to some of them. What do the rest get? They get justice. The saved get mercy and the unsaved get justice. Nobody gets injustice” - R. C. Sproul

Not saying you are wrong, just pointing out there is more.

Yes, there is much more.

I don’t know if you were following the point of my post.

It was simply that it’s impossible to change the topic from being about God to being about love, since God is love and every time we speak of God we’re necessarily speaking about love. That’s all.
