Θεός is used of whatever can in any respect be likened to God, or resembles him in any way: Hebraistically, equivalent to God's representative or vicegerent, of magistrates and judges, John 10:34f after Psalm 81:6 Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent of "θεός" is primarily "אֱלֹהִים" (Elohim • Strong's Hebrew 430), which is used throughout the Old Testament to refer to God. Other related Hebrew terms include "אֵל" (El • Strong's Hebrew 410) and "יְהוָה" (YHWH • Strong's Hebrew 3068), the personal name of God in the Hebrew Scriptures. These terms collectively convey the monotheistic belief in one sovereign God, as reflected in both the Old and New Testaments. Usage: In the New Testament, "θεός" is used to refer to God the Father, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. It is employed in various contexts to express attributes of God, His actions, and His relationship with humanity. The term is central to Christian theology, emphasizing the monotheistic belief in one God. Context: The Greek word "θεός" is a foundational term in the New Testament, appearing over 1,300 times. It is used to describe the God of Israel, the Father of Jesus Christ, and the object of Christian worship. The term underscores the monotheistic nature of Christianity, distinguishing the faith from the polytheistic religions of the ancient world.
