WITH WHOM THERE IS NO VARIATION OR SHADOW OF TURNING (James 1:16-17)
Variableness characterizes the sun, moon, and stars. The expression "shadow of turning" may mean shadow caused by turning. This could have reference to the shadows cast on earth by the rotation of the earth around the sun.
With God it is quite different; there is no variableness in Him, or shadow caused by turning. His gifts are as perfect as himself. Therefore it is unthinkable that He would ever entice us to sin. Temptation comes from our own evil nature.
