One of the most awe-inspiring and humbling truths about God is that He is ab- solutely free from any need or dependence. His existence, the fulfillment of His will, and His happiness or good pleasure do not depend upon anyone or anything outside of Himself. He is the only being who is truly self-existent, self-sustaining, self-sufficient, independent, and free. All other beings derive their life and blessedness from God, but all that is necessary for God’s existence and perfect happiness is found in Himself. God has no lack or need, and is dependent upon no one. To teach or even suggest that God made man because He was lonely or incomplete is absurd and even blasphemous. Creation is not the result of some lack in God, but the result of His fullness or the overflow of His abundance. To teach that God somehow needs our help to make things run rightly in the world is equally absurd and blasphemous. He did not create because He had a need, but because He desired to make known the superabundance of His perfections, glory, and goodness.#TrumpetBlower
