1 John 4:8 (New International Version) 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
God is love, but that is not all that He is. Whatever notion or grasp we have, however shallow or deep, is not adequate to fully describe His love.
He is, at the same time, more than love. A few of those things come to mind: He is holy, true, just, light, etc.. To say He is one thing and ignore the rest displays an incomplete understanding of our Father and leans toward the danger of fashioning one's own image of God. He is bigger than just one thing and more than we can imagine. Limiting God to our understanding or to what we are comfortable with has no impact on His reality.
We can try to describe what God is, but He says, "I AM".
