How do we know that the Apostle Paul's ministry was legitimate?

Answered in 1 source

Paul's ministry is validated through his defense of the gospel and the fruits of his labor, as seen in his letters.

Throughout 2 Corinthians, Paul repeatedly defends his apostleship against false teachers who questioned his authority. In 2 Corinthians 11, he declares, 'I am not one whit behind the very chiefest apostles,' indicating his confidence in his God-given role. Moreover, the authentic results of his ministry, changing lives and establishing churches, serve as evidence of God's hand upon his work. His humility in asserting his credentials while ultimately attributing his success to God's grace further corroborates the genuine nature of his ministry.
