The term underscores the belief that God provides exactly what is necessary for His purposes to be fulfilled in the lives of believers.<br><br><b>Divine Provision</b><br><br>One of the most direct references to sufficiency in the Bible is found in <a href="/2_corinthians/12-9.htm">2 Corinthians 12:9</a>, where the Apostle Paul recounts the Lord's response to his plea for relief from a "thorn in the flesh": "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me." . This passage highlights the sufficiency of God's grace, emphasizing that His power is made perfect in human weakness. It reassures believers that God's grace is enough to sustain them through trials and challenges.<br><br><b>Contentment and Trust</b><br><br>The theme of sufficiency is also closely tied to contentment and trust in God's provision. In <a href="/philippians/4-11.htm">Philippians 4:11-13</a>, Paul writes, "I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances. I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." . Here, Paul expresses a profound sense of contentment, rooted in the sufficiency of Christ's strength, which enables him to endure all situations.<br><br><b>God's Provision in Daily Needs</b><br><br>The Bible also speaks to God's sufficiency in meeting daily needs. In <a href="/matthew/6-31.htm">Matthew 6:31-33</a>, Jesus instructs His followers: "Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." . This passage assures believers that God is aware of their needs and will provide sufficiently as they prioritize His kingdom and righteousness.<br><br><b>Sufficiency in God's Word</b><br><br>The sufficiency of Scripture is another important aspect, as it is seen as fully adequate for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness. <a href="/2_timothy/3-16.htm">2 Timothy 3:16-17</a> states, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work." . This underscores the belief that the Bible contains all that is necessary for guiding believers in faith and practice.<br><br><b>Sufficiency in Christ</b><br><br>Ultimately, the sufficiency of Christ is central to Christian theology. <a href="/colossians/2-9.htm">Colossians 2:9-10</a> declares, "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form. And you have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority." . This passage affirms that believers are made complete in Christ, who embodies the fullness of God, providing all that is necessary for spiritual life and godliness.<br><br>In summary, the biblical concept of sufficiency encompasses God's provision, grace, and the completeness found in Christ and His Word. It encourages believers to trust in God's ability to meet their needs and to find contentment in His perfect provision.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
