How do we know Paul's authority as an apostle is true?

Answered in 1 source

Paul's authority is validated by his divine commission and the miraculous works performed through him.

Paul asserts his authority by referring to the miraculous acts recorded in the book of Acts, often associated with apostles' ministries. His frequent hardships and unwavering commitment to preaching the gospel, even under persecution, testify to his apostolic calling (2 Corinthians 11:23-28). Additionally, his letters were recognized among early Christians as inspired scripture, which further confirms his unique role supported by divine authority. His emphasis on obedience to Christ demonstrates that true authority is always directed towards the glory of God and the welfare of the church.
Scripture References: Acts 11:23-28, 2 Corinthians 11:23-28
