Deuteronomy 4:32 Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created human beings on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? 33 Has any other people heard the voice of God[a] speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived? 34 Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
35 You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other. 36 From heaven he made you hear his voice to discipline you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire. 37 Because he loved your ancestors and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength, 38 to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance, as it is today.
39 Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. 40 Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.

a. Deuteronomy 4:33 Or of a god
Well, it seems the verses themselves are pretty clear. It's in verses 36, 37, and 38. But, since I'm not a preacher, I better depend on one.
This is from the classicstudylight.org site.
Israel heard God's audible voice from heaven; they saw His holy fire, and benefited from His divine choice. They could know from all God had done for them that the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath, there is no other!
In light of who God is, and all He has done for Israel, obedience to His commands makes perfect sense. It is simply what should be done. We would be fools to disobey such a God of love and power!

Well this part was short and sweet!
