I agree with your statement that God is sovereign over all and all of the universe.He is in control He cannot do wrong. I other words if God can do no wrong why am I responsible for anything which occurs. It might seem his sovereignty eliminates any responsibility.
So, did the Devil make us do it, or did the devil make me do it? Or did God make me do it? Remember God did not create anything which was not good. He cannot even look with approval upon sin (Heb 6"8). God does not tempt (James 1:13). So if God did not make me or the Devil do it, then who did?
Remember God (creator of all) did not make the Devil. He created Lucifer who decided per his free will to disobey God). Freedom is a good thing, if properly asserted. However, to exert ones will against God is to offend infinite justice. (God is just. God is merciful. God is kind. God is love.)
Remember in the Garden as each day closed, God asserted that 'it was good'. So as Adam, created innocent and perfect, but with the attribute of free will, God told Adam in Genesis 1:4, 10. 12, 18,21, 25.) After the last day God stated, "It was very good."(Gen. 1:31).
One thing God gave creatures was a good power called 'free will'. In Gen.2"16, God said, "....You are free.....". We, men, intuitively understand that freedom is a wonderful thing. Only those who usurp the will unto their own desires see freedom as bad. People do not stage marches against freedom.
However, the power of moral free choice entails the ability either to choose good (the will of God) or reject the will of God. Freedom makes evil possible.
If God made creatures free, and if it is good to be free, then the origin of evil is freedom misapplied. God is morally accountable for giving the good thing called free will, but He is not morally responsible for all the evil we do with our freedom. In brief, God made the fact of freedom; we are responsible for the acts of freedom. The fact of freedom is good. The acts of freedom, when it violates Gods will, is what we call evil.
Because of sin (a violation of Gods' infinite justice) must be dealt with consistent with the nature of God, only an infinit penalty could provide remediation. You and I, finite creatures, could never pay for our transgressions against a Holy God.
So, Sin, and our specific sins, were ordered remediated from before the foundation of the world, that God should become a man, live the Law, die, according to the scriptures, and resurrected, according to the scriptures, to pay a penalty you and I could never pay.
So, Adam and his wife were driven from perfect Eden, and a Cherubium placed at its entrance with a flaming sword which revolved all around (Gen. 3:24). The Bible says because of this act, the entire universe groans, it is so objectionable to God.
And the story goes on to the Revelation of Jesus Christ and you and I (believers) are back in the Garden, our offenses reconsiled, despite what we have done. Back to the Garden where we may eat freely of every fruit, and yes, even from the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowlege of Good and Evil (Rev.22). The wages of sin had been paid, and the gift of God realized by an Omipotent, Sovereign, Loving, Merciful, Longsuffering, Just God, who provided the only way to life eternal.
Gen.21:4...And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall ther be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.
yoiu bring up a good point- free will in and of itself is not evil- As you said- Adam had free will and each day the garden was put to bed God said it was good. Before the fall, This was the ultimate freedom- to have the free will, yet to choose to do the good- not being slave to sin, not being weak and giving in to sin.
