God with a capital G

There are several components to the ancient historic concept of God. One is singularity. God is the One God. None other besides is God the way the Father is God. Another is topmost status. Only one Father is father of all beings and Lord of all and maker of all and highest over all. Topmost Creator. The tree-like status hierarchy of all beings has just one at the top. (Note that even Christ Jesus, the Son called God His own God, the Father.) Then there is blessedness. Only one Father deserves all praise because He of all beings is so praiseworthy. God is good and great and is dearly loved by many and first loved many. Another is prayer. God receives prayers. God is the one who answers prayers and saves those who trust in Him and call on Him. Then there are key attributes ascribed to this God such as that His righteous blessedness is eternally constant and that God is almighty in power to save.
