The seal of my apostleship.
1 Corinthians 9:2, If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
It is amazing how people could question and criticize Paul in his own day, and that continues even today. By his own admission, he was different than the other apostles—those who are sent out-- yet he indeed was sent out to the Gentiles by the Lord Jesus Himself. He knew the proof of that, it was those to who He wrote, the believers. Why should we be surprised if we are criticized for doing what He calls us to do? We will also have the proof of those who believe in Him.
Indeed, we are also sent out to others as was Paul; help us to reach out to others in Your name, that they may come to know You!
