Paul calls himself a "bond-slave of Jesus Christ" and an apostle "set apart" for preaching the gospel of God. He felt called by God to this role before his conversion, and afterward dedicated himself fully to serving God and spreading the message of the gospel. Paul saw preaching as both an honorable duty given to him by God, and a humble form of service. His mission was to faithfully deliver the message he was commissioned to share.
