What does it mean for God to call Paul by his grace?

Galates 1:15 (NEG79)

15 Mais, lorsqu'il plut à celui qui m'avait mis à part dès le sein de ma mère, et qui m'a appelé par sa grâce,

Paul’s conversion and membership in the church of God was not because of his skill. He was a sinner deserving of judgment. The fact that Jesus Christ appeared to him on the road to Damascus, called him to be part of his church, and serve him as a preacher to the Gentiles was an act of grace and mercy on the part of God. It is not something that Paul deserved.
