"For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen."
This is the culmination of the amazing hymn of praise written by Paul at the end of Chapter 11 of his letter to the Romans. It follows a series of rhetorical questions whereby Paul addresses the incomparable nature of God, and man's infinitely lesser status. Paul recognizes that the Lord, the God of all creation, is the only worthy object of praise and adoration, and reinforces this amazing statement with a firm "So be it!"
"For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR?
Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN?"
Because God is the creator and sustainer of all things, the Omnipotent and Omniscient one, there is no question that all things are from HIM and through HIM.
But what does it mean when it says that all things are to HIM?
