For those investing money in art and in painting, it is of most importance that what they buy is authentic. It can be two paintings looking 100% the same to the naked eye, but one is authentic, and the other is a counterfeit. If it is a counterfeit, it loses all of its value. When it comes to expensive art, the value of the painting is all in the signature. It’s not the colors or the frame that gives it value. Not even the picture itself. It’s the signature that ties the painting to the artist that gives it value. Our value lies totally in the signature. We don’t have value in ourselves. It is the signature of Jesus that gives us the value.

In the Old Testament, God put his name on Israel by them keeping the law, and his blessing. “And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.” (Num 6:27)

In the New Testament God puts his name on us in baptism. That’s when he gives us His name. He puts his signature on us. If you don’t have his name, you are a counterfeit. ”Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) Have you checked your signature?
