"Without qualification, without ifs, ands, or buts, God's word tells us, straight as a left jab, that love is the greatest thing there is (1 Cor 13: 13). Scripture never says God is justice or beauty or righteousness, though he is just and beautiful and righteous. But 'God is love' (1 Jn 4:8). Love is God's essence, his whole being. Everything in him is love. Even his justice is love. Paul identifies 'the justice of God' in Romans 1:17 with the most unjust event in all history, deicide, the crucifixion, for that was God's great act of love."
Peter Kreeft, Ph.D., a professor of philosophy at Boston College, has written a thoughtful essay on love.
