How do we know God does not need our gifts?

Answered in 1 source

God's Word confirms that He is self-sufficient and does not require anything from us.

In Psalm 50, God makes it abundantly clear that He does not need the offerings of animals or any material gifts from us, as He claims sovereignty over the entire creation. The Creator of the universe possesses everything, and if He were hungry, He would not need to ask us, for all is already His. This strengthens our understanding of God's self-sufficiency; He created all things, and thus, He lacks nothing. Understanding this truth humbles us, knowing that our offerings far exceed simply material gifts—it is our gratitude and love that matter most to Him.
