What is the Biblical basis for the logos being only the means for creation?

>All things came into being **through** him, and apart from him not even one thing came into being that has come into being John 1:3 Are we given any indication that the logos made anything? Or is it simply that God is the *sole Creator* and does so *through* His logos/word? What is the Biblical basis for the logos being *only the means* for God's creating process? And explicitly, that the logos did not, could not, make anything of itself. As an example using the same word *dia*, >More than that, we also rejoice in God *through* our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. Rom 5:11 We note we are rejoicing IN GOD not in Jesus - it is made possible *dia* (through) Jesus. Jesus is the means, the manner etc. by which the joy is expressed or realised.
