In our last study, we looked at the divine legal basis for our physical health. Today we look at the divinely provided legal basis for material and financial prosperity. This is a story of God's grace showcased in Christ for us as indicated in our theme scripture. Jesus who was not poor became poor (financially and materially) so that we become rich. The creator of all was stripped of His clothes by the Roman soldiers before He was taken to the cross (Matthew 27:28). He didn't die as a rich man. He became poor just as He became sin. When Jesus was crucified, poverty was crucified and completely banished for all that believe in Him. Just like you got remission of sins you also received riches this world can't measure, all in the same package of salvation. Think about the Lord's commission to Paul in Act 26:18; "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness (remission) of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me". This shows that because of His death and resurrection, you did not only receive remission of sin but also inheritance. Ephesians 1:11 declares, "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance". Paul elucidates the enormity of this inheritance in Ephesians 3:8, "To me, though I am the very least of all the saints (God's consecrated people), this grace (favor, privilege) was granted and graciously entrusted: to proclaim to the Gentiles the unending (boundless, fathomless, incalculable, and exhaustless) riches of Christ [wealth which no human being could have searched out]". This is the very foundation of your prosperity financially and materially. It is God's benevolence so that your life is beautified with abundance. Carry out your ventures and endeavors with this truth in mind. Recognize what you have in Christ. His death and resurrection brought you a life of unfathomable prosperity.
