From God, By God, Through God

I'm sure these aren't original with me, but I can't remember where I got them.  Nonetheless, in my Bible's margin I have these things written beside each of these verses:

Romans 5:9 | Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
:: We are saved by God from God.

Romans 5:10 | For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
:: We are reconciled to God by God.

Romans 5:11 | More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
:: We rejoice in God through God.

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. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
(Colossians 1:16-20 ESV)
