awe

Because reduced speech leads to reduced lives , I must gird myself with the type of awe for God that first brought me to conversion. Peter and John expressed this type of passion when they had been arrested for preaching the message of salvation in Christ. They were being threatened to stop speaking of Jesus, “But Peter and John answered and said to them, ‘Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather that to God, you be the judge; for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.’” The two apostles were so overcome by their experiences with Jesus that they simply had to share their experience.
