What does Galatians 1:12 mean?

Galatians 1:12 highlights themes such as faith and obedience when read in context.

How should I apply Galatians 1:12 today?

Read the surrounding passage, compare related cross references, and turn the verse into a short prayer and concrete action.

For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

10For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

11But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

12For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

13For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

14And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
