Paul's Gospel Received by Revelation
June 29, 2028
Overview & Insights
"I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ." (Galatians 1:12)
Paul insists his gospel came not from human teaching but by revelation of Jesus Christ. He recalls his former zeal in persecuting the church, his calling by grace, and how after his conversion he saw Peter and James in Jerusalem.
