Galatians 1:11-12 (AMP)
“For I want you to know, believers, that the gospel which was preached by me is not man’s gospel [it is not a human invention, patterned after any human concept]. For indeed I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a [direct] revelation of Jesus Christ.”
Unlike Peter and other disciples, Paul didn't walk with Jesus. Paul's existence in the early church is for the benefit of the "Now" church. When you read scriptures, the bible tells us that Paul was extremely zealous of the messages he learnt (Law) that it caused him to persecute the message of Christ. But when God separated Paul, Jesus Christ Himself revealed to Paul the messages the disciples kept hearing from Him personally. From that point, Paul turned from the zeal of the law to the zeal of grace.
Just as Paul, the representation of the united church, we ought to seek God passionately to allow Christ reveal Himself in us. Many of the Christians have been taught messages that crucify them and even make them crucify others as sinners. If that's the case, then Christ died for nothing because Christ was crucified for every sin in a man. So our line of Christianity is not to point the sins of man because Christ did that already. Our primary role is to point men to Christ who changes every man.
When a man is in Christ, all the pleasures of sin break loose. That's how much Christ does for every man who yields to Him. That defines the grace of God which Paul preached.
God bless your day
