Unquestionably God is a God of love.

Love: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." – Matthew 10.34.

Love: "For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." – Matthew 10.35,36.

Love: "And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death." – Matthew 10.21.

Love: "No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever"... "behold the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away." – Mark 11.21.

Love: "Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead." – Matthew 8.22. Love: "Whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven him neither in this World nor in the world to come." – Mark 3.29.

Love: "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. – John 15.6

Love: "A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, 'Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession ... Lord, help me!'
He answered, 'I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel ... It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs.' " – Matthew 15.22-26.

(Proverbs 8:29) When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

(Proverbs 8:30) Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

(Proverbs 8:31) Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

(Proverbs 8:32) Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

(Proverbs 8:33) Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

(Proverbs 8:34) Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

(Proverbs 8:35) For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

(Proverbs 8:36) But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

All one has to do is think of the eternality and absolute mercilessness of hell and the lake of fire and know that God isn’t the kindly grandfather that some would portray Him. Those places are places of the total absence of divine love. And God is the one who casts people there.

Luk 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Luk 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
