John 1:3
πάντα δι’ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο
"All things were made through Him"
Joh 1:3 All things πάντα came into being ἐγένετο, through δι’ Him, αὐτοῦ and καὶ without χωρὶς Him αὐτοῦ not even οὐδὲ one [thing] ἕν came into being ἐγένετο that ὃ has come into being. γέγονεν.
ἐγένετο (egeneto): The aorist indicative middle/passive verb of γίνομαι, meaning "came into being" or "were made," indicates Jesus as the agent through whom creation occurred.
Colossians 1:16
ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ ἐκτίσθη τὰ πάντα
"For by Him all things were created"
ἐκτίσθη (ektisthē): Aorist indicative passive verb of κτίζω, meaning "created," shows that all things were created in Him, with Him being the active sphere of creation.
τὰ πάντα δι’ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς αὐτὸν ἔκτισται
"All things have been created through Him and for Him"
ἔκτισται (ektistai): Perfect indicative middle/passive verb of κτίζω, emphasizing the completeness and enduring results of His creative work.
Hebrews 1:2
δι’ οὗ καὶ ἐποίησεν τοὺς αἰῶνας
"Through whom also He made the worlds"
ἐποίησεν (epoiēsen): Aorist indicative active verb of ποιέω, meaning "made" or "created," indicating Jesus' direct and active role in creation.
1 Corinthians 8:6
δι’ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς δι’ αὐτοῦ
"Through whom are all things, and we exist through Him"
δι’ οὗ (di’ hou): Preposition διά with the genitive case indicates the instrumental agency of Christ in creation and sustaining life.
These passages collectively demonstrate that Jesus is presented as the divine agent actively participating in the creation of all things. The verbs and grammar leave no room for the interpretation that He was merely passive or secondary in this work.
I just read this and believe it brother.

John 1
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His [c]own, and His [d]own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the [e]right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
