Romans 10,11

The writer, after giving an explanation of the how and why the love and gospel of God was shared with the Gentiles, he pauses and takes a long look into the deep wisdom of God. He quotes from both Isaiah and Job as he expresses his amazement at the infinite wisdom and love of God to us.

It is a moment of realization … that God is go great and all-knowing and we are so finitely dependent and helpless apart from His merciful gesture of love and acceptance to us through Christ.

This approaches the true meaning of awe.
