Good, Love

God is love

Does this mean that God embodies the characteristics of love or is love defined by who God is?


God is good

Does this mean that there is an independent standard of goodness that God lives up to and can therefore be measured by, or rather, is what we experience as good only a consequence of what we perceive of the nature and character of God evident in creation?

I hold the later to be true in each of the above.

"No greater love has a man than this, that he would lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Ooh Reg that's deep. I love it! I agree, I think it's defined by who God is. -AGMac
