How do we know Paul was called by God?

Answered in 1 source

Paul asserts that his apostleship was not from men, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, confirming his divine calling.

The authenticity of Paul's apostleship is rooted in his assertion that he received the gospel and his calling directly from Jesus Christ. In Galatians 1:1, he clarifies that he is an apostle 'not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ.' This underscores the divine nature of his ministry as he emphasizes that his understanding of the gospel came not through human instruction but through a special revelation from Christ (Galatians 1:12). His dramatic conversion and subsequent commitment to preaching the gospel further validate God's sovereign choice in calling him.
