God
can only be love because of the perfect union of the Trinity – Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. If God was alone – meaning no Trinity – then such isolation would
result in a non-loving being. And, with the lack of the existence of love, such
a being would not have created the universe and the community of people on the
earth. Without the community of the Trinity, there is no opportunity to
express love – and love is action based. Indifference, which is the opposite of
love, would not be a reason for the creation narrative. But thankfully GOD is
love! (I John 4:8 & 16) His creation is evidence. Unfortunately, the
creation separated themselves from the Creator by the act of disobedience. The
good news is, His creation is given the opportunity to be a part of His perfect
community by responding to His ultimate gift of love as described in John 3:16
& 15:13 and Romans 5:8 & 19.
