Anthropomorphisms and figures of speech. God is Love.

If God's sovereignty and the wrath of God are "anthropomorphisms and figures of speech," why do you presume "God is love" isn't?

Because anger is not His unchanging essence. Sovereignty is not Who God is but what He is, relative to His Creation.
