God has one nature, but that nature is expressed in three persons rather than one nature or one person like us. The Father is the Lover. The Son is the Loved or Beloved, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Love flowing between and from them.
Love itself is the Trinity. Each has perfect intimacy with the other two persons. They love each other. Ergo, the nature of God is love. If God were only one person, this couldn't be true. Creation is the Godhead proclaiming, "Open the fellowship, so that more may enjoy our love." When humanity sinned, the gates of fellowship closed; but in Christ's death, the veil that separated humanity from God was torn (Luke 23:45; Heb 10:19-20), and the proclamation went out again: "Open the fellowship, so that all may enjoy our love."
What about wrath? God is not just loving, but God is also wrathful. Now, do the same with wrath to explain the Trinity just like you did with love.
