Fear and Comfort, Multiplied

Acts 9:31 
Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.

After the Spirit coming to the disciples and apostles  and leading Peter to publicly point at the Christ, persecution of those delivered from death to life, Saul's conversion, the church accepting God's call on Saul, and the gospel's spreading - there was a time of peace.  This peace had the fear of God and comfort of the Comforter as its source, and so the church continued to grow.  As promised, God put a new heart in those of stone and His Spirit, Himself, in His people He called out.
