Hebrews 3:4

SCRIPTURE

"For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God." — Hebrews 3:4 (ASV)

Parenthetically, this verse makes the point that God is over all—a fact that the author does not want us to lose sight of. So he uses the analogy that the very existence of a house is an argument for a builder. Thus everything that exists argues for God. At the same time, God cannot be put on a level with any builder of a house.
