1. 1. 1. Self-existence (independence, self-sufficiency, aseity)¹

         1. Definition: God is entirely uncaused, self-sufficient, and completely independent of all things in His being and actions. He needs nothing and owes nothing to anyone or anything, for by Him all things were created, and upon Him all things depend for everything.

            4. Exodus 3:14

            5. John 1:3

            6. Rom. 11:35–36: “Who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to Him again? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.”

1. 1. 1. 1. 7. Psalm 90:2: “Before the mountains were born, or Thou didst give birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God”

1. 1. 1. 1. 8. Isaiah 40:13–14: “Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or as His counselor has informed Him? With whom did He consult and who gave Him understanding? And who taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge, and informed Him of the way of understanding?”

1. 1. 1. 1. 9. Acts 17:24–25: “The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all life and breath and all things”
