I think both are intertwined, but like I said before, the source of grace is probably love. I sort of think that while grace is a loving act, can it be possible to have grace without love? If so, then the Love of God is greater, because love is the beginning and the root of all that is good. It's like in 1 Corinthians 13., where it says that "though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor...." and then it says that "without (love), I am nothing."
The action would be empty were there no love. So if grace is just an action, then love would be greater. If the definition of grace includes love, if by definition grace means, "something something with love" then maybe they are the same, or grace is a branch of love. So it may still be love in some form, just one branch of it. Another branch might be patience(from I Cor. 13).
So, hopefully, in writing in this, i felt..am I answering this with love??? Hmm...

I believe the love of God because I think grace was given because of His love.

All this God stuff. There is no use in asking a question when the answer can't be proven one way or the other.
