How do we know that Paul was a true apostle of Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Paul's unwavering commitment to preach Christ and not himself proves his apostolic authority.

Paul's legitimacy as a true apostle is underscored by his dedication to preaching Christ Jesus as the focal point of his ministry. He firmly distinguishes himself from false teachers who corrupt the gospel for self-promotion. In 2 Corinthians 3:6, he describes himself as an able minister of the New Testament, showcasing that his authority comes not from his position but from his faithfulness to God's message. His humility and service reflect the characteristics of genuine apostleship, where the aim is to lift up Christ rather than personal agenda. Such qualities were pivotal for establishing his credibility in a community rife with deception and falsehood.
