Rom 1:1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God
"bondservant" a willing slave. Someone who could go free but chooses instead to go to remain a slave.
"called to be an apostle" = apostle is one commissioned by Jesus to be a delegate; or ambassador of the Gospel accompanied with miraculous powers.
" separated to the gospel of God" = separated as an apostle with his main calling being to spread the gospel.
Paul knew his calling and sought to fulfill it. Peter wrote;
2 Peter 1:10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I know my calling, but I don't know yours, be sure to find that that GOD would have you to do and then give it your best shot.
Paul received his calling at his conversion. In Acts 22 Paul said Ananias told him; Acts 22:14 "Then he said, 'The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should
know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth. 15 'For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. And that is exactly what Paul was.'
