God is......is not good enough

God is perfect. In fact He personifies perfection. God is Holy. In fact He personifies holiness. God is righteous. In fact he personifies righteousness. These attributes of God go on and on like love, mercy, justice, help, generosity, and even judgment. But what if it goes deeper than that? What if all of these things that we say and know that God is, are not simply his attributes or even his personality traits, but are actually his Identity. I don't mean that there is no God and the idea of God is merely the manifestation of these accolades and personality traits.

When we say that God is good, usually what we mean is that we have seen or experienced something or maybe even come to a certain realization from a bible study or conversation that would convince us of the fact that indeed, God behaves in a good way. The same can be said of all of the other affirming attributes.

But here's my question. What if saying that "God is......" is insufficient or only partly true. Most Christians would probably agree that since God is the Creator of all things, that He would be the fountain head of creation. Therefore, although "God is...." is a testimony to those attributes by which we relate to Him, would it also be correct to say and believe that not only does He display and live out those attributes but He truly IS those attributes. Not only is God good, but he is the Goodness in which He operates. Not only is God just, but He is in fact the Justice that He exerts. He is the Holiness. He is the love. He is the purity. They are not just what he does but rather are part of His identity since they flow from Him. God is not only full of grace but He IS the grace which He gives. And further, when he imputes His own righteousness to us through faith in Him, isn't that just another way He is Goving Himself to us? God doesn't just give salvation, He is the Salvation which He gives.
