God created all things through His Son Jesus Christ
I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days, You Whose years continue throughout all generations. At the beginning You existed and laid the foundations of the earth; the heavens are the work of Your hands. They shall perish, but You shall remain and endure; yes, all of them shall wear out and become old like a garment. Like clothing You shall change them, and they shall be changed and pass away. But You remain the same, and Your years shall have no end. (Psalm 102:24-27, Amplified Bible)

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN
John 1 Amplified Bible (AMP)
1 In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.
2 He was present originally with God.
3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.
JOHN 1:1-2 EXPLAINED
1 In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.
2 He was present originally with God. (Jn 1:1-2, AMP)
In the beginning [before all time], that is, before the creation of the world, the Word already exist. The Word is not a spoken word of God, but rather, the Word is the Spokesperson of God. The Word aka the Spokesperson of God aka the Word of God is none other than Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, according to this testimony of John which he witnessed firsthand when his spirit was whisked up into Paradise (cf Rv 4:1-3):
11 After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness).
12 His eyes [blaze] like a flame of fire, and on His head are many kingly crowns (diadems); and He has a title (name) inscribed which He alone knows or can understand.
13 He is dressed in a robe dyed by dipping in blood, and the title by which He is called is The Word of God.
14 And the troops of heaven, clothed in fine linen, dazzling and clean, followed Him on white horses.
15 From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent).
16 And on His garment (robe) and on His thigh He has a name (title) inscribed, king of kings and lord of lords. (Rv 19:11-16, AMP)
Before and after becoming Man, Jesus Christ was also known as the Word of God or in short, the Word. In the beginning, the Word was the preexistence of Jesus Christ, and He is the companion of God:
Before anything else existed, there was Christ, with God. He has always been alive and is himself God. (Jn 1:1-2, The Living Bible)
No one has ever actually seen God, but, of course, his only Son has, for he is the companion of the Father and has told us all about him. (Jn 1:18, TLB)
God is Spirit (cf Jn 4:24), thus, the Word who was God is Spirit. The Word who was the preexistence of Jesus Christ is Spirit, and He is God, accompanying God the Father in the beginning before the world was created.
JOHN 1:3 EXPLAINED
3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. (Jn 1:3, AMP)
God the Father made all things through the Word aka the preexistence of Jesus Christ who was God and Spirit. This phenomenon marks the beginning of the Bible:
1 In the beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. (Gen 1:1-3, AMP)
> In the beginning God the Father (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth (Gen 1:1). God the Father created the heavens and the earth through the Word aka the preexistence of Jesus Christ who was God and Spirit, according to this testimony of God the Father Himself:
8 But as to the Son, He says to Him, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever (to the ages of the ages), and the scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of absolute righteousness (of justice and straightforwardness).
9 You have loved righteousness [You have delighted in integrity, virtue, and uprightness in purpose, thought, and action] and You have hated lawlessness (injustice and iniquity). Therefore God, [even] Your God (Godhead), has anointed You with the oil of exultant joy and gladness above and beyond Your companions.
10 And [further], You, Lord, did lay the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the works of Your hands.
11 They will perish, but You remain and continue permanently; they will all grow old and wear out like a garment.
12 Like a mantle [thrown about one’s self] You will roll them up, and they will be changed and replaced by others. But You remain the same, and Your years will never end nor come to failure. (Heb 1:8-12, AMP)
The Living Bible version of Hebrews 1:8-12:
8 but of his Son he (God the Father) says, “Your Kingdom, O God, will last forever and ever; its commands are always just and right.
9 You love right and hate wrong; so God (so Son), even your God (even your Father), has poured out more gladness upon you than on anyone else.”
10 God also called him “Lord” when he said, “Lord, in the beginning you made the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 They will disappear into nothingness, but you will remain forever. They will become worn out like old clothes,
12 and some day you will fold them up and replace them. But you yourself will never change, and your years will never end.” (Heb 1:8-12, TLB, emphasis mine)
> The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters (Gen 1:2). The Spirit of God is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God (cf Acts 5:3-4) and He was present in the creation of the heavens and the earth. The Holy Spirit coexists with the Father and the Son as He proceeds from the Father and the Son:
But when the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me. (Jn 15:26, AMP)
Then Jesus said to them again, Peace to you! [Just] as the Father has sent Me forth, so I am sending you. And having said this, He breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit! [Now having received the Holy Spirit, and being led and directed by Him] if you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of anyone, they are retained. (Jn 20:21-23, AMP)
The Father is God, the Son (the Word) is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, but they are not three Gods but one God. The Father and the Son is one God:
I and the Father are One. (Jn 10:30)
When Jesus said, “I and the Father are One,” He meant He and the Father is one God. The Jews understood Jesus’ meaning and they accused Him of blasphemy for claiming to be God, in this wise:
I and the Father are One. Again the Jews brought up stones to stone Him. Jesus said to them, My Father has enabled Me to do many good deeds. [I have shown many acts of mercy in your presence.] For which of these do you mean to stone Me? The Jews replied, We are not going to stone You for a good act, but for blasphemy, because You, a mere Man, make Yourself [out to be] God. (Jn 10:30-33, AMP)
The Father, the Son (the Word), and the Holy Spirit is one God:
Jesus approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (Mt 28:18-19, AMP)
The grace (favor and spiritual blessing) of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the presence and fellowship (the communion and sharing together, and participation) in the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen (so be it). (2Cor 13:14, AMP)
So there are three witnesses in heaven: the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit, and these three are One; (1Jn 5:7, AMP)
> And God said, Let there be light; and there was light (Gen 1:3). The God verbalizing the first words of creation is none other than the Word aka the Spokesperson of God aka the Word of God aka the preexistence of Jesus Christ. The Word (Christ) is the Light of the world:
In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was present originally with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it]. There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came to witness, that he might testify of the Light, that all men might believe in it [adhere to it, trust it, and rely upon it] through him. He was not the Light himself, but came that he might bear witness regarding the Light. There it was—the true Light [was then] coming into the world [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] that illumines every person. He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him [did not know Him]. (Jn 1:1-10, AMP)
Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life. (Jn 8:12, AMP)
GOD CREATED ALL THINGS THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST AKA THE WORD AKA THE WORD OF GOD
Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and dominion, for You created all things; by Your will they were [brought into being] and were created. (Rv 4:11, AMP)
Note: Our Lord and God who receive the glory and the honor and dominion and who created all things is none other than Jesus Christ according to these testimonies:
Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God! Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and trusted and relied on Me. (Jn 20:28-29, AMP)
Jesus approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. (Mt 28:18, AMP)
But of his Son he (God the Father) says, “Your Kingdom, O God, will last forever and ever; its commands are always just and right. You love right and hate wrong; so God (so Son), even your God (even your Father), has poured out more gladness upon you than on anyone else.” God also called him “Lord” when he said, “Lord, in the beginning you made the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will disappear into nothingness, but you will remain forever. They will become worn out like old clothes, and some day you will fold them up and replace them. But you yourself will never change, and your years will never end.” (Heb 1:8-12, TLB, emphasis mine)
The Word aka the Word of God aka the preexistence of Jesus Christ said:
Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Would you question Me about things to come concerning My children, and concerning the work of My hands [would you] command Me? I made the earth and created man upon it. I, with My hands, stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host. (Isa 45:11-12, AMP)
The Holy One of Israel aka the Holy One of God is none other than Jesus Christ:
What have You to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God! (Mk 1:24, AMP)
Ah, let us alone! What have You to do with us [What have we in common], Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know Who You are—the Holy One of God! (Lk 4:34, AMP)
And we have learned to believe and trust, and [more] we have come to know [surely] that You are the Holy One of God, the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of the living God. (Jn 6:69, AMP)
The world was created by the Word aka the Word of God aka the preexistence of Jesus Christ:
By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible. (Heb 11:3, AMP)
For they willfully overlook and forget this [fact], that the heavens [came into] existence long ago by the word of God, and the earth also which was formed out of water and by means of water, (2Pt 3:5, AMP)
All things were created by the Word aka the Word of God aka the preexistence of Jesus Christ in lieu of and in behalf of God, His Father:
In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was present originally with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. (Jn 1:1-3, AMP)
He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him [did not know Him]. (Jn 1:10, AMP)
In many separate revelations [each of which set forth a portion of the Truth] and in different ways God spoke of old to [our] forefathers in and by the prophets, [But] in [b]the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order]. (Heb 1:1-2, AMP)
Also to enlighten all men and make plain to them what is the plan [regarding the Gentiles and providing for the salvation of all men] of the mystery kept hidden through the ages and concealed until now in [the mind of] God Who created all things by Christ Jesus. (Eph 3:9, AMP)
[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, In Whom we have our redemption through His blood, [which means] the forgiveness of our sins. [Now] He is the exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible]; He is the Firstborn of all creation. For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him. And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together). (Col 1:13-17, AMP)
