Otherwise the vast majority of us are gods, because we either value ourselves the most, or we value someone else the most who in turn values us the most.
It just shows it's a meaningless word, as usual. This is really desperate equivocation.
It's most meaningful. Otherwise what's the point and relationship with the word to ourselves.
It means we ought to love God above all else and when that happens, we care about God's face in everything to whatever degree of light and whatever right is asked through that is giving it it's proper due.
Not only it most meaningful but it makes us realize the struggle between truly worshiping God or polytheism, is not just intellectual, but something that heart has to incline to through love and truthfully believe God is most worthy of being valued most, such that he is the only God.
