The sun hasn't always existed, so it got its energy from something that had energy. That something that has energy, is greater than the sun, because it gave the sun its energy.
The sun formed from the coalescence of dust and hydrogen present in a proto-nebula os some sort, it formation was (most probably) a direct result of shockwaves from nearby supernovae and then of gravity and other attractive forces acting between the atoms/particles and star-essimals. The sun didn't "get" energy! It extracts it from it's constituent parts (if you will) through the process of nuclear fusion where-by hyrdrogen is converted to helium and thus energy is released.
"Most probably"? Are you 100% sure?
I'm not 100% sure that the suns formation was induced by shockwaves from local supernovae, No. But I see that all available evidence points that way and it is in agreement with the defined laws of physics ... so I am nearly 100 % sure that the Suns formation went along those lines.
