“The Word of God the Father is life by nature. He raises; he does not fall. He destroys death; he is not overcome by decay. He gives life to what lacks life; he himself does not seek life from another.” - St Cyril of Alexandria

Impassability doesn't mean God has no passions, but that creation cannot "trigger" his passions. Nothing can make Him love you less/more. That is good news! And God as Being Itself follows from creatio ex nihilo; His existence isn't derived from anything; He's His own existence.

“These passages show that God is at once transcendent and immanent, in all things and embracing all things. He does not sit on a throne that can hold him, yet he holds all things in the palm of his hand.“ - St Jerome

“The universe is held together by the power and reason of God as by a single soul. This truth, I believe, is set forth in the Holy Scripture in words spoken by the prophet: “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the LORD (Jer 23:24)” - Origen of Alexandria
