Galatians 1:10-24 The gospel is not of human origin, but was revealed to Christ's servant Paul to be preached to the nations.

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers. But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being. I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus.Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days. I saw none of the other apostles—only James, the Lord’s brother. I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie.Then I went to Syria and Cilicia. I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” And they praised God because of me. Believers in Jesus are not asked to preach the gospel, they are called to do so from the beginning of time. Men cannot find the gospel on their own, because it is not of human origin. Instead believers come to Christ in faith in what they cannot see, but know with certainty. Those who declare they are Christians and do not declare it to others ought to examine themselves to see if they are true Christians indeed. Because Jesus said to his followers to go and make believers of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
