Usage

In the New Testament, "theos" primarily refers to the one true God, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, as revealed in the Christian faith. It is used to denote the divine nature and attributes of God, including His omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. "Theos" can also refer to false gods or deities in a polytheistic context, but in the Christian Scriptures, it predominantly signifies the God of Israel, the Father of Jesus Christ.
