God said "I AM Holy." Seven times in the Bible it's written that God is holy. Only twice do you find where it's written He is love.

To say that God is holy is like saying that God is loving. Both are absolutely true. However, while God is both holy and loving, God is not holiness. Scripture states that God is love. Living love. It is that living love (who is personified in the very eternal being of God) that is holy.
