How do we know Paul's apostolic authority is true?

Answered in 1 source

Paul's apostolic authority is validated through his personal encounter with Christ and the miraculous signs he performed.

Paul's claim to apostolic authority is firmly rooted in his dramatic conversion experience on the Damascus Road, where he encountered the risen Christ directly. This encounter is unlike those of the other apostles, as Paul was transformed from a fierce persecutor of Christians to a zealous promoter of the Gospel, affirming his unique calling. Additionally, the signs and wonders performed through him serve as authenticating miracles of his authority as an apostle, which are acknowledged in multiple passages like Romans 15:19 and Hebrews 2:4. These acts were not only powerful but demonstrated the divine endorsement of his ministry.
