What does the Bible say about the independence of God?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that God is essentially independent, meaning He is in need of no one and His actions are based solely on His sovereign will.
The independence of God is a fundamental aspect of His sovereignty and self-existence. In Job 35:6-8, the Scriptures affirm that our sins do not affect God, nor do our righteousness add to Him. This independence indicates that God does not rely on anything outside of Himself for existence or fulfillment. He created the world according to the good pleasure of His will (Ephesians 1:5) and is not constrained by time, space, or human actions. God is not obligated to justify His decisions or existence; He simply is, as stated in Exodus 3:14 when He revealed Himself to Moses as 'I AM THAT I AM'. This independence underscores the majesty and sovereignty of God, as He alone wields absolute authority over all creation.
