This is not a new question to a believer, even an unbeliever can attest to the truth that God exists. An atheist knows that God exist but only refuses to believe it. So is every religion that is outside Christianity. My answer and exposition to this topical question is not really based on the personality of God in His Trinity but instead, the true qualities that describes His nature and nullifies what He is not.
Almost every believer or Christian know and say this popular quote "God (The Lord) is good, all the time; and all the time, (The Lord) God is good" in the Church but many refuses to believe it because of false doctrines, and they are forgetting the fact that they are all still living in this evil, cruel, temporal and accursed world that the devil hijacked its dominion from the right man - Adam. (Jh 7:7, Gal 1:4)
If God is not good (Love), would He have become a Father and Son and still sacrifice the only latter to hand over the dominion legally to man - its rightful owner?
Therefore, if all God created is good, it is a proof that all there is about Him is good, what He does and always do is good because the fruit of good will always be good (Matt 7:17-18).
Anything and everything God does in the scriptures (from Genesis to Revelation) and on the present day is good. You have to see it that way both from the initial process that you can't fathom why He permitted things to happen or some things that are happening; and the final process (end result) that you could now understand that "What" and "Why" God did what He does is for good. (2Tim 3:15-17, Heb 10:7, Matt 19:17)
The same should be seen in the life and time of Job, Noah, Lot etc; death of Jesus and His disciples, persecution of the early Church, end-time rapture and tribulation in the book of revelation etc and the present day occurrences that have been predetermined by prophecies. Volume of writing won't permit me to explore each section above to proof that God is good and only good. (Heb 11, Jam 1:13, Rom 14:9)
Who is God? God is a Spirit and that Spirit is Love. The fruit (quality) you would only find in Him is good; everything that portrayed Him as a Spirit of Love.
Now, God is not everything Charity (Love) is not, everything good is not, everything the Spirit is not. That shows God is not evil and everything portrayed as the works of the flesh including wrath. You have to believe and not only know or see it that way. (Jh 4:24, Gal 5:22, 1Cor 13, 1Jh 4:5,16)
The kind of peace that light (understanding) of revelation would bring to you when you believe it is only found in God alone. It is the devil that is evil and everything opposite to God, and you can never find anything good (that God is) in him. This is the most astonishing and fearful thing about God. He has power over everything and every creature (and spirits - demons or angels) even the devil (that kills and does evil) and the kingdom of darkness. (1Jh 3:8, Acts 10:38, Matt 28:18)
At times, He does permit them but to what end - the fulfillment of His purpose and intentions (which is forever good) and a proof that He is wiser, all knowing and powerful. He (God) has power and control over death, even Lucifer (the devil or satan - who's not death) does not take life except the God that gives it but has his way of killing, stealing and destroying all because Man already fall to the bounds of the nature of sin which brings death automatically until the Salvation through Jesus Christ renders hell and death powerless over whoever believes. (Rev 1:18)
You would have said God is evil when He sacrificed Jesus (His only Son) and allow Him to suffer; when the Lord cried on the cross and died but you would understand His good nature after the resurrection of Christ Jesus. Remain blessed beloved. (Mrk 15:34,37)
