God: The A to Z of All Things
Commentators unanimously explain that this verse presents a complete picture of God's relationship to all things. "Of him" means God is the ultimate Source and Creator. "Through him" means He is the active Agent and Sustainer. "To him" means all things find their ultimate purpose and end in His glory. As multiple scholars summarize, God is the Source, the Means, and the Goal of everything that exists.
