How do we know God is self-sufficient?

Answered in 1 source

God's self-sufficiency is illustrated by His eternal existence and the fact that He is not in need of anything from creation (Acts 17:25).

God's self-sufficiency is a critical aspect of His nature. Acts 17:25 states that God is not worshiped by human hands as if He needed anything. This encapsulates the idea that God's existence and glory do not rely on His creation. Before any creation existed, God existed alone in perfect contentment, lacking nothing. This assurance of God's self-sufficiency means that He is not incomplete or dependent on our worship; rather, our worship is a response to His glory, which exists independently of us. Understanding this truth leads us to a proper reverence for God's sovereign and eternal nature.
