2 Characteristics of God

'The true God is distinguished from false gods by two special characteristics: 
He can create and He can save
The false gods can do neither. 
 
So we read again in Jeremiah 10:10-12: "But the Lord is the true
God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king.... The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, he hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
"
 
 He who can create can redeem
He who can redeem can create
But the one who cannot create cannot redeem." 
W.W. Prescott
