Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17, KJV)

Every good . . . perfect gift is from above. Two different Greek words for “gift” emphasize the perfection and inclusiveness of God’s graciousness. The first denotes the act of giving, and the second is the object given. Everything related to divine giving is adequate, complete, and beneficial. Father of lights. An ancient Jewish expression for God as the Creator, with “lights” referring to the sun, moon, and stars (cf. Gen. 1:14–19). no variation or shadow due to change. From man’s perspective, the celestial bodies have different phases of movement and rotation, change from day to night, and vary in intensity and shadow. But God does not follow that pattern—he is changeless (cf. Mal. 3:6; 1 John 1:5).

All scripture is given by inspiration Of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2 Timothy 3:16, KJV)

All Scripture. Grammatically similar Greek constructions (Rom. 7:12; 2 Cor. 10:10; 1 Tim. 1:15; 2:3; 4:4) argue persuasively that the translation “all Scripture is breathed out . . .” is accurate. Both OT and NT Scripture are included (see notes on 2 Pet. 3:15–16, which identify NT writings as Scripture). breathed out by God. Sometimes God told the Bible writers the exact words to say (e.g., Jer. 1:9), but more often he used their minds, vocabularies, and experiences to produce his own perfect infallible, inerrant word (see notes on 1 Thess. 2:13; Heb. 1:1; 2 Pet. 1:20–21). It is important to note that inspiration applies only to the original autographs of Scripture, not the Bible writers; there are no inspired Scripture writers, only inspired Scripture. So identified is God with his word that when Scripture speaks, God speaks (cf. Rom. 9:17; Gal. 3:8). Scripture is called “the oracles of God” (Rom. 3:2), and cannot be altered (John 10:35; Matt. 5:17–18; Luke 16:17; Rev. 22:18–19). teaching. The divine instruction or doctrinal content of both the OT and the NT (cf. 2 Tim. 2:15; Acts 20:18; 20–21; 27; 1 Cor. 2:14–16; Col. 3:16; 1 John 2:20; 24; 27). The Scripture provides the comprehensive and complete body of divine truth necessary for life and godliness. Cf. Ps. 119:97–105. reproof. Rebuke for wrong behavior or wrong belief. The Scripture exposes sin (Heb. 4:12–13) that can then be dealt with through confession and repentance. correction. The restoration of something to its proper condition. The word appears only here in the NT, but was used in extrabiblical Greek of righting a fallen object, or helping back to their feet those who had stumbled. Scripture not only rebukes wrong behavior, but also points the way back to godly living. Cf. Ps. 119:9–11; John 15:1–2. training in righteousness. Scripture provides positive training (originally used in reference to training a child) in godly behavior, not merely rebuke and correction of wrong behavior (Acts 20:32; 1 Tim. 4:6; 1 Pet. 2:1–2).

My life is like a long flight of stairs. You go up and down but you know the outcome where that place is. But in Christ, though uncertain what life is, God desired direct is found the pages of scripture. Only way is to have obedience and love for scripture. Oh by the end of this month I will finally get "the Macarthur Study bible NKJV". I was hoping to get it in KJV but it's fine coz I'm using Ryrie study bible KJV. Im blessed to have such resources available. Please pray for regular quiet time with the Lord and rebuild my bible study in regular daily habit and the desire to read scripture daily. Sometimes I do slack put from time to time but my theology remains the same. I am Calvinist in bible theology "TULIP", but based only trough scripture. God bless.
