self-sufficientThe ability to satisfy one's own basic needs without the help of another; can also mean that one is emotionally and intellectually independent of the help of others. DTP The disciple, through faith, comes into the body of Christ as a family member needing others and serving together with them, a community of believers with similar goals and purposes. This word can have both positive and negative connotations; one can focus on just one's own personal will and desires, or we can understand that we can be self-sufficient in Christ, through faith. He is able to meet all our needs. (See 2 Cor 3:5; 12:9)
