In simple terms, it means love only exists because God exists. Being loving is inherent to God's very nature and core. And so the only reason love exists in the first place is because God exists and so it is through Him/because of Him that love exists at all. It also means there is nothing about God that is unloving. He is pure good.
I know you don't believe that, but that is why it is a hypothetical.

Yes, He is truth.
Well, then, I would accept truth.
