📚 Historical Context

In the letter to the Galatians, Paul is defending his apostolic authority against Judaizers who questioned his gospel and claimed he was not a true apostle. He recounts his dramatic conversion from a zealous persecutor of Christians to a preacher of the faith, emphasizing that his message came directly from God through revelation. As a result, the churches in Judea glorified God for the evident transformation in Paul's life, seeing it as a powerful work of divine grace.
