The Bible teaches, that Christ created all things - but it is also true, that in the end, Christ holds everything *together* (needed?)

Hi there!

So I had my mind blown, today: not only does Christ created all things, not only does every created thing have their consistence in Christ, but in the end: Christ holds all things together.

It was such a powerful thought, because I realized "I don't have to be doing this [life] thing, on my own: I can trust Christ to bring it together!"

Christ is waiting for us to come to Him, because He can mend everything that breaks, in this life.

I hope this has been of some encouragement to you.

God bless.

There is an inconsistency there.
If Jesus created everything and also sustains everything, he is also incharge of everything, so it is not a case of sinful man graciously responding to Jesus's offer, but of a sinner being wrenched out of satans chains and welcomed into Gods family.

For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

New Living Translation
for = through Him ...... God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him.

English Standard Version
For by Him.... all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

Berean Standard Bible
For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Berean Literal Bible
because in Him were created all things in the heavens and upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or lordships or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and unto Him.

King James Bible
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

NASB 1977
For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created by Him and for Him.

Legacy Standard Bible
For in Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.

Amplified Bible
For by Him all things were created in heaven and on earth, [things] visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [that is, by His activity] and for Him.

If you read john 1:10 it says that Jesus created the world. (KJV).

""He was in the world, and the world was made by Him..., and the world knew Him not."""

Now, go to 1 Tim 3:16 (KJV) and read that the "He" is "God was manifested in the Flesh"... (Virgin born).

These verses and a few more are the prime verses that teach the "Deity of Christ".
