To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
God chose to reveal his Son through me so I could share the good news with people who'd never heard it before. And when that happened? I didn't run to ask other people what they thought or get their approval first.
When God gives you a calling, sometimes you just know, no group chat needed.
📚 Historical Context
In the first chapter of Galatians, Paul is defending his authority as an apostle by describing his personal conversion experience, which occurred after he had been a zealous Pharisee persecuting early Christians. On the road to Damascus, God directly revealed His Son to Paul, commissioning him to preach the gospel to the Gentiles, which was a significant shift from his previous life. This immediate calling highlights Paul's reliance on divine revelation rather than human consultation.
