What does the Bible say about God's sufficiency?

Answered in 14 sources

The Bible teaches that God is our only sufficiency in all things, highlighting our dependence on Him for salvation and strength.

In Exodus 3:12, God promises Moses, 'Certainly I will be with thee,' indicating that Moses' sufficiency and ability to carry out God's work comes solely from God's presence and power. In Isaiah 41:10, God reassures His people by saying, 'Fear thou not; for I am with thee.' This demonstrates that we are called to rest completely in God for guidance, strength, and righteousness. The Apostle Paul elucidates this in 2 Corinthians 3:5, where he states, 'Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.' Understanding that our sufficiency is found in God alone is essential for both salvation and for effectively preaching the Gospel.
