A true love of God must begin with a delight in his holiness, and not with a delight in any other attribute; for no other attribute is truly lovely without this.
-Jonathan Edwards

I don't know how you separate one attribute from the rest. God is not just holy, not just love - He is fully God, infinite in His glory. I will never totally know or understand God, because He is too great I love Him with all my heart, but not in pieces. I love Him because He first loved me. He sacrificed Himself for me - what greater love could there be? He allows me to be in His presence and answers my prayers. He gave us this beautiful world and all the wonders contained within. He provides for me. There are so many reasons to love Him, holiness included, that I find it impossible to take just one of His attributes and point to that attribute and say 'that is why I love Him'.

We should love God for who He is--not what He does. We should delight in all His ways. When you truly love someone--isn't it everything about them that you love--not just certain attributes?

(1 John 5:3) For this is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments; and yet his commandments are not burdensome,

True love of God begins when we recognize what he did for us on the cross....delivered us from sin and death by his own blood.
"We love Him because He first loved us".
