Why is that?

0Hi,02br
02br
00Why does what seems to be a proper noun, God, have the article 'the' in front of it? Normally, I think, you would see 'God' without a definite or indefinite article. Does it have anything to do with it having an adjective like 'faithful' before (the only) God?02br
02br
01u00The faithful God02u00 sent His only Son Christ to fulfill his covenant in the last time.02br
02br
00Can it work for these?02br

00The great Golden Gate Bridge02br

00The great John Doe Stadium0-
