How can we be sure that God only gives good gifts?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture assures us that all good comes from God, emphasizing His unchanging nature and perfect will.

In James 1:17, the assurance that only good gifts come from God rests on His immutable character. The scripture states, 'with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning', emphasizing that God is consistent in His goodness. This theological truth teaches us that God's nature is intrinsically good, and thus, He cannot give anything that is not aligned with His goodness. The Reformed understanding assures believers that all things ultimately work for good to those who are called according to His purpose, demonstrating God's sovereign plan in our lives.
