4.9- The way humans were created included free will choice.

4.9-

The way humans were created included free will choice.  Adam and Eve were given freedom to eat of all the trees in the garden but there was one that God told them not to eat of.   But both Adam and  Eve chose to disobey God and eat of it.  There is something about human nature that includes rebellion.  The more we are aware of a law about something the more we want to do it.  Paul wrote it this way:

Romans 7.

⁷ What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except ^[e]through the Law; for I would not have known about ^[f]coveting if the Law had not said, “You shall not ^[g]covet.” ⁸ But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me ^[h]coveting of every kind; for apart ^[i]from the Law sin is dead. ⁹ I was once alive apart ^[j]from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died; ¹⁰ and this commandment, which was ^[k]to result in life, proved ^[l]to result in death for me; ¹¹ for sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. ¹² So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
¹³ Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

The human condition includes the reality that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

Jesus went to the cross as an innocent man.  It was possible for Jesus to pay for the sins of mankind because of His innocence.

John 19.

19 Pilate then took Jesus and ^[a]scourged Him. ² And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe on Him; ³ and they began to come up to Him and say, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and to give Him slaps in the face. ⁴ Pilate came out again and *said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him.” ⁵ Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate *said to them, “Behold, the Man!” ⁶ So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate *said to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him.” ⁷ The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by that law He ought to die because He made Himself out to be the Son of God.”

This death of Jesus as the perfect lamb of God was the basis of the early preaching in the church.

Acts 8.

²⁶ But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, “Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (^[h]This is a desert road.) ²⁷ So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and he was returning and sitting in his ^[i]chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and join this ^[j]chariot.” ³⁰ Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” ³¹ And he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. ³² Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:

“He was led as a sheep to slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
So He does not open His mouth.
³³ “In humiliation His judgment was taken away;
Who will ^[k]relate His ^[l]generation?
For His life is removed from the earth.”

³⁴ The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?” ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. ³⁶ As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch *said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” ³⁷ [^[m]And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”] ³⁸ And he ordered the ^[n]chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him. ³⁹ When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, ^[o]but went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip ^[p]found himself at ^[q]Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.

God had a plan.  Humans would be created with free will.  He would send Jesus to earth to show total love and then to lay down His life to provide for forgiveness of sins for all of us.

What love is shown in this plan of God's perfection and grace.
