I believe that both God's hatred of sin and His wrath against it are expressions of His love.
The Scriptures don't say that "God is hate" or "God is wrath", but they DO say that "God is love".
And because Jesus IS God, He knows fully well what love is; therefore love IS the core of His message and His Gospel.

It says in the book of John that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosever shall believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Based on that it would seem that the whole purpose of Jesus while He walked the earth was based on love. It also says also in the bible that God is Love. Everything that He does is based on this premise.
The reason Jesus came to earth was that He loves us and was willing to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and was separated for 3 days and nights from His father in heaven which had to cause much more agony then being crucified. In the eyes on God each day is as a 1000 years and a 1000 years a day. That is a long time to be descended into hell. If this is not an act of love I don't know what is.

Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Galatians 5:14 ... the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
Romans 13:8-10 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Jesus said all the law and the prophets hang
on two commandments. Commandments to LOVE.

A couple of times tried to raise the topic of love in these forums and they tend to drop like a stone in favour of many other topics.
Considering we are nothing if we don't love, I consider it top importance, above anything. Not that I'm an expert at it, I've personally prayed many times that if God were to teach me ANYTHING that it would be what love is and how to love.
Love is such a core tenet of our faith, I think people tend to overlook it, or even undermine it due to a lack of understanding.
If anyone thinks love is wishy washy or weak or powder puff, they are literally, gravely mistaken.
