Aristotle's God was entirely complete within himself, and so had no need for personal interaction. Aristotle was essentially a Deist - he believed that God was the First Cause, but had no further interaction with the universe.
The God of Moses and Abraham was personally involved in the universe, frequently intervened in the affairs of human beings, and providentially governed all things.

Aristotle's god just set the universe in motion, but doesn't care if you sin, or reward you if you're good.
