Gospel made simple

I was reading about the components of a story; I learned the following: 

A story is a design in five parts: The Inciting Incident, the first major event of the telling, is the primary cause for all that follows, putting into motion the other four elements – Progressive Complications, Crisis, Climax, Resolution.

Here is a one sentence example of the Greatest Story Ever Told using these components:


[Inciting Incident] God created man; man sinned against God, the sin brought death into the creation;


[Progressive Complications] mankind was separated from a relationship with God;


[Crisis] mankind was completely lost and had no hope of survival;


[Climax] then, God provided Grace through the gift of Jesus Christ His Son to die on the cross to save mankind.


[Resolution] Jesus conquered death by being resurrected by God's power and mankind regained relationship with God as they repented, believed God and yielded to Him.
