Faith Q&A › My Faith

What does the Apostle Paul mean when he says, “God, Who created all things by Jesus Christ” (Eph. 3:9)?

The answer

God created all things by Jesus Christ, just as I would say, “I solved the problem by my mind.” The mind is not something that is distinct from you, but belongs to you, and by it you are unique from the animals, and without it you cannot be called a human.

So, the Second Person is the Mind of God, or rather He is God’s Thought and His Scope, by which He envision the creation.
