Self sufficiency is not a God attitude. Dependence on God our Father is.

John 5 :15 the son can do nothing of himself unless it is something he sees the sees the Father doing.

everything Christ had was given by the Father. it was in dependence on His Father that He did anything. self sufficiency is not a god attitude.

I need to receive all from the Father to complete and do His will. I need to receive His deep wisdom, His directive, his power, authority His skill. His love. to do all He wants me to do.

Adam received every step of development and thing from His Father whether small or great. every benefit and blessing came from His Father much like Christ who also received all things of His Father, who walked hand in hand and step in step with His Father growing into His fullness and stature even dying on a cross in obedience.

the tension is not whether we receive all things from god and not work or work and not receive from God.

we receive all things from God and work and develop with God at every step receiving grace and peace to grow and develop as we depend also on Him everything comes of God Our Father is the source. but everything comes through God - our Father is also our fuel, our sustenance, how can we live but to depend on Him at every step?
