Commentaries:
This verse looks back to the fact that He was the Creator. Our Creator went through all these things for us.

Christ's Death, Resurrection, and Ascension
Everything that exists belongs to God, He has the right to keep everything for Himself, but He chooses to share with human beings. He does not need to pay or repay anyone, or ask us for anything. Silver and gold are symbolic of everything of value.
