God has turned St. Paul s weakness to the good of mankind, where he led him to believe and became a preacher of Christianity after he oppressed its followers for years. God said about him in (Acts 9:15) he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel .
In his article entitled Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another , HG Abba Serbion, Bishop of Los Angeles, said It is clear that the divine choice for the ministers does not give them an immaculacy, but gives them power and fill them with grace. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. (Philippians 3: 15) St. Paul has never doubted he was sent by God: Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead) (Galatians 1: 1)
God has not prevented his chosen ones from committing mistakes, but accepted them when they reprint like St. Peter who denied his master and repented later. Even the apostles and prophets like the fathers Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses had committed many mistakes that were mentioned in the Holy Bible. The book of the Acts of the Apostles reminds us of the weakness of man when the apostles Paul and Barnabas had disagreement and then hen the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus. (Acts 15:39) However, God uses our weaknesses and turn them into our good and the good of the church. God is capable of turning such weakness into good, love and service.
