The salvation story is much deeper than material prosperity and healing.
The Book of Romans is a very powerful presentation, if not the most powerful, by Paul the Apostle on the subject of righteousness and the real essence of Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
It clearly speaks to Jesus not only as our substitute on the cross but also in our identification with him in his death, burial, and resurrection.
It is a journey in the revelation of the righteousness of God. It goes to the heart and essence of Christ's work.
If you read through, you will clearly see that the revelation carries a depth.
It tells us that by one man, Adam sin entered into the world. Sin in singular tense (not plural as sins), which is therefore not a reference to the acts referred to as sins but to a nature that inherently changed the Adamic race forever.
Jesus therefore came as the lamb of God to take away that sin which entered through Adam.
Romans 5:12
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."
John 1:29
"The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world"
Now the scripture says from Adam to Moses sin dominated as death ruled. This time frame referred to the period before the law where we find the patriachs. Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, etc.
Romans 5:14
"Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come."
We must note that these men prospered, and God even healed the Israelites in the wilderness during this period, yet the sin question was left unaddressed, and death reigned.
This goes to show that the depth of Christ's work goes directly to the sin issue. Sin as a principle and power over man because it had become his nature within.
Material prosperity and healing are attachments to the core of what Christ came to do and when the physical prosperity of a person is spoken of as though it's the essence of the gospel it means the message of Jesus Christ in its basic form is not well understood.
