Arius taught that in the creation of the universe, the Father was the ultimate creator, supplying all the materials and directing the design, while the Son worked the materials, making all things at the bidding and in the service of the Father, by which "through all things came into existence".
Arius mengajarkan bahwa dalam penciptaan alam semesta, Bapa adalah Pencipta tertinggi, menyediakan semua materi, memimpin perencanaan, sementara Putra mengerjakan materi-materi tersebut, menjadikan segala sesuatu sesuai permintaan dan dalam pelayanannya kepada Bapa, sehingga "melalui segala sesuatu ada".
