'Awe' in the Bible

When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God and praised Him, who had given such authority and power to men.

Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, they were terribly frightened and filled with awe, and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

They were filled with great fear, and said to each other, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

Then fear came on all their neighbors; and all these things were discussed throughout the hill country of Judea.

A sense of awe was felt by everyone, and many wonders and signs (attesting miracles) were taking place through the apostles.

And great fear and awe gripped the whole church, and all who heard about these things.

That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand by your faith [as believers understanding the truth of Christ’s deity]. Do not be conceited, but [rather stand in great awe of God and] fear [Him];

So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ].

As for those [elders] who continue in sin, reprimand them in the presence of all [the congregation], so that the rest will be warned.

Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, and offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship with reverence and awe;
