It’s accurate to say that God is love. But this is different from saying that God loves. Love is not a characteristic of God. Love isn’t a thing that God does because if love is something God does, there has to be a time when God doesn’t love. If love were something that God did, God would need to muster up love somehow. God would need you to be a certain way in order for God to love you.
Great insight well-expressed, Jonas ... as is so often true!
Additionally, I would like to bring forth a statement about God that is made by a certain organizational system of thought: "The One about whom naught can be said" (and I might add "or known"). No anthropomorphism of God as a human but much better! I realize this goes against your theological training... but you're an independent thinker!
Nice.

Very profound.
