I never said God was limited by one attribute. I said that as an example of emotion being reflected in God as well as man.
I understand the intent of this premise is good, however it is not correct. The only antidote for bad/evil is the law, and love constitutes one factor of the law.
If you examine the 10 Commandments, two factors precede love: HONESTY [3rd C]; then 'RESPECT' [5th C]. These are precedent foundations for love: what kind of love in the absence of honesty and respect? This is also the reason the 5th does not say, LOVE THY PARENTS - which is biological and involuntary; instead the far more demanding 'HONOUR THEY PARENTS' is commanded. This means one must respect parents, the aged and the wise - even when a doscordance appears.

Are you saying that our actions is what makes us "the image of God"?
No, because we have no control how we are created. But I am saying that to be Godly, one has to follow the laws of God. The aspect of love is most seen in the OT laws; it is not a new discovery from anyone else. I have not seen 'LOVE THE STRANGER' any place but the OT, and the real test of this concept. Loving one's own, or one's neighbour is not the same - this has self interest attached to it. Nor have I seen a more powerful command concerning love than here:
'YOU SHALL LOVE THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART [emotions], AND ALL THY MIGHT [deeds] AND ALL THY SOUL [spiritually]' [OT]
IOW, it is more than just a word.
