Authority in the Gospel

The Apostle Paul is commissioned by Jesus and uniquely trained by him for three years in Arabia, receiving the gospel directly from Jesus. Paul's gospel, emphasizing salvation by grace through faith in Christ, is not derived from any human source but is affirmed by the other apostles. This authority allows Paul to confront those distorting the gospel message, including even challenging the prominent apostle Peter, highlighting that the gospel transcends any individual's authority.
