A critical question for followers of the prosperity gospel is, “Did Jesus indicate that the outcome of His death, burial, and resurrection would be vast wealth, health, and a life devoid of suffering?” Indeed, a significant question to help them differentiate between the true gospel and the prosperity gospel.
