One thing to rely on …


iTunes did it again.

I turned on the wi-fi on my iPhone to update my apps and up popped a notice saying iTunes terms and conditions had changed and I had to review (and agree to!) the new terms before my apps could be updated.

This was just one of several times that iTunes changed the terms and conditions for receiving their service.

I used to get similar notices from my bank … that certain terms had changed regarding the services it provides.

I’ve received notification about changes in terms and conditions from a variety of businesses and organizations over the years. Usually the changes were minor, although some did have an impact to the cost of doing business, and occasionally the changes were significant enough to discontinue the business relationship.

But of all the relationships I’ve experienced in my life, there is one that has never had a change in its terms and conditions: my relationship with Jesus Christ.

I’ve never received a heavenly notice that Jesus was opting to make changes in the covenant He has offered us. There’s never been a statement sent that God was revamping operations and certain promises were revoked. Instead, we read in Hebrews 13:8 this simple yet profound statement: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

You can stake your eternal life on Jesus Christ. His terms and conditions are permanent and unchanging. You can risk everything on the covenant He offers. It’s the one relationship you can have perfect peace about.

Do you?
