The prosperity gospel is a popular version of Christianity that cheapens the price Jesus paid on the cross. This “gospel” takes the focus off of what Jesus has done for us and puts the focus on what He can do for us. It is a story that is centered on us, instead of on Jesus. Anytime the focus is put on us and how great we are there should be a major red flag.
American Christianity can also be called cultural christianity. It was when we grow up thinking we are Christians because our family goes to church, we prayed a prayer, went to a Christian school, or another "Jesus" activity. These things are all great things, but none of these activities can save us. The only thing that saves us is our relationship with Jesus. Whenever we understand what He has done that understanding should produce a desire to know Him and to tell others about Him.
Those who teach the prosperity gospel are clearly false teachers who are promoting themselves and seeking material wealth instead of seeking for people to know Christ. One of the biggest examples of this is Joel Osteen, who is known as the biggest of the prosperity teachers.
