Paul the preacher: If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant. Galatians 1:10

The letter to the Galatians is an epistle that forms part of the set of texts written by the apostle Paul to the various churches he visited or founded; the Galatians were a people who had settled in the Anatolian peninsula, having come from Europe, and Paul most likely visited them during his first and second missionary journeys. And all the texts written by the apostle have something in common, and in this truth the epistle to the Galatians is no exception, they are the apostle's theological effort to maintain the unity of the church in the face of emerging heresies and to strengthen the faith of the first Christians at a time when the transmission of the gospels was oral, since the first gospels were written after the first century AD.
In his epistle to the Galatians, Paul had to affirm his authority as an apostle since there were many self-proclaimed Christian preachers who contradicted him. Although he had not personally known Jesus like other apostles, he had been enlightened by his grace and saved for the redemption of many. This is why Paul affirmed in his epistle to the Galatians that he did not teach a merely human doctrine designed to satisfy the pleasures of the flesh, but rather a spiritual doctrine coming from the highest and most perfect: "I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant" Galatians 1:10.
And then, to emphasize that his teaching was part of the mysteries of the Kingdom announced by Jesus, he affirmed in his epistle to the Galatians: "I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ" Galatians 1:12.
Paul the preacher taught that he was called to faith by the grace and mercy (compassion, kindness, gentleness) of the Lord like every Christian, because blessedness is that, a gift, a free gift that Jesus gives us. Paul in the New Testament is perhaps the best example of what an adult Christian should be, so much so that he may well be the true founder of the Christian faith as it is known today; like Paul, all Christians are called to live the faith through the path of righteousness.
