God's Unified Work
Commentators explain this verse as a beautiful description of the Trinity's unified work. The Father is presented as the ultimate source ('of whom are all things'), the fountain from which everything originates. The Son, Jesus Christ, is the divine agent ('through whom are all things') who brings creation and our salvation into being. All things come from the Father through the Son.
