Deuteronomy 4:35 Summary
[This verse tells us that God showed us His power and majesty so that we would know He is the one and only true God, as it says in Deuteronomy 4:35.

We can see God's power and majesty in many things, like the creation of the world in Genesis 1:1, and the miracles He performed in the Bible, like the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus 14:13-31. By recognizing God's sovereignty and exclusivity, we can live in obedience to His commands and give Him the worship and praise that He alone deserves, as seen in Revelation 4:11.]
