The One True Gospel

Paul writes to the churches in Galatia, declaring that his apostleship was not received from any human source, but directly from Jesus Christ and God the Father. He sternly warns those who preach a different gospel and disturb believers, stating that there is only one gospel, and that anyone who preaches any other gospel is to be accursed. Paul recalls that formerly, while in Judaism, he was zealous in persecuting the church, until God, in His grace, called him, revealing His Son in his heart and commissioning him to preach the gospel to the Gentiles. He did not immediately go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles, but went to Arabia, and only after three years did he go up to Jerusalem to meet Peter, staying fifteen days.
