Scriptural Resonance: Exodus 3:14 — “I AM WHO I AM.”
Definition: God’s self-existence and independence. From Latin *a se* — “from oneself.” God is not derived from anything else; He is the uncaused cause.
Theological Use: Aseity affirms that God depends on nothing outside Himself. He is life, being, and perfection in Himself.
Pastoral Note: God’s aseity comforts us: He is never depleted, never needy. His love flows freely, not from lack but from fullness.
