And I don’t know anything that reflects God’s identity more than His Word.

A fingerprint helps us discover the identity of the one it belongs to. Eventually one of my housemates saw it and when I told him how it was a fingerprint filled with Scripture he said, 'Bro, that’s God’s fingerprint!' From that point forward, the artwork has always been called ' God's fingerprint.' Once it was finished, I didn’t show anybody for awhile. My prayer through the entire process was 'Lord, please guide my hands to create an accurate reflection of your perfect Word.” One mistake and the entire piece would be ruined!Įach line revealed more of the depth and breadth of God's inspired Word To say that this process was daunting would be a huge understatement. It was time to go over every word and line with archival ink. Once the fingerprint was filled with verses in pencil - it was time to make it final. This process was laborious but fulfilling, as each line revealed more of the depth and breadth of God’s inspired Word. I also wanted to make sure each verse was powerful, representing God’s Word to its fullest. Once that was done, I pored through Scripture to find a verse from each book that matched the line it was assigned to.Įach line was a different length, so the verse had to match perfectly. I started to carefully assign each book of the Bible to a line in the fingerprint. The steps that followed were very slow and meticulous. This artwork would have one verse from every book of the Bible, Genesis to Revelation From Genesis to Revelation, every book of Scripture would be represented in this artwork. This fingerprint would have one verse from every book of the Bible. To my great surprise, I realized this was the exact same number of books in the Bible!Īt that point, the concept became clear. I discovered there were 66 lines in the fingerprint.
