His Signature   

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the world-famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, was waiting at a taxi-stand outside the railway station in Paris.  When a taxi pulled up, he placed his suitcase in the car and took a seat.

“Where can I take you, Mr. Doyle?” asked the taxi driver.
Doyle was flabbergasted. He asked the driver if he knew him by sight.
“No, sir, I have never seen you before.”
The puzzled Doyle asked him how he knew he was Arthur Conan Doyle.
“This morning’s paper had a story about you being on vacation in Marseilles. This is the taxi stand to which people who return from Marseilles always come. Your skin color tells me you have been on vacation. The ink spot on your right index finger suggests to me that you’re a writer. Your clothing is very English and not French. And so, I deduced that you are Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.”

Doyle remarked, “This is truly amazing! You are a real-life counterpart of Sherlock Holmes.”
“Oh, there is one other thing,” the driver said.  
“What is that?”
                       “Your NAME  is on the front of your suitcase.”

As one looks at all of the intricate design in the universe, there is astounding evidence for the existence of God.  His “signature” is “stamped” all over the universe!  "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, 
so that men are without excuse" (Romans 1:20).

God not only designed and created the universe; He ALSO designed and implemented a “plan” whereby He could save us from the penalty of SIN.  

His plan involved... the sacrifice of His own Son, Jesus, dying on a cross to pay the price for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2).  
According to His plan... one must place their trust in Jesus (Hebrews 11:6), 
repent of sin (2 Corinthians 7:9-10), confess that Jesus is God’s Son (Romans 10:9-10), be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins 
(Acts 2:38), AND continue to trust and obey the will of God (1 John 1:7).

Take a moment to look OUTSIDE and see the “signature” of God.
                                                            
Then, take an even closer look at the CROSS  of Jesus, where we see the 
“signature” of God's love - expressed in the MOST profound way.

Will YOU accept His plan?

God bless you!
