Aseity is one of the most important doctrines of Christianity and the Gospel as we see in Acts 17. As noted, it proclaims that God's love and care for the universe and humanity is strictly out of His utter generosity. We are completely unnecessary for God, yet He has freely created us. As Augustine noted: Because we exist we know God loves us.
