Paul asserts that the gospel he preached was received directly from Jesus Christ, confirming its authenticity.
In Galatians 1:11-12, Paul stresses that the gospel he proclaimed was not derived from human teaching but received by revelation from Jesus Christ. His dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, described in Acts 9, illustrates that he was directly taught by the Lord, not conferring with flesh and blood but being led by God's purpose. This divine revelation underscores the truth of the gospel and asserts that Paul’s authority comes not from any human source but from Christ Himself, making it a legitimate message of salvation.
