God's Provision is Complete
Commentators unanimously affirm that through Christ's divine power, God has already provided believers with everything necessary for spiritual life and godliness. This provision is complete and sufficient. As one scholar puts it, 'nothing that is required is withheld from us.' This means you don't have to generate your own spiritual resources, but can rely on what God has freely supplied.
