Thank you, A-G. I agree, depending on the meaning of the word "need." We remember, all relation to us by God has been propositional... by covenant. And sin has never been God's plan, eh? He has made provision, though.

Thank you so much for your post!

Indeed, if Adam and Even hadn’t learned the lesson of obedience the hard way, we would not be under the penalty of sin. And I certainly agree that the Father provided perfectly for the situation through Jesus Christ, who is the propitiation for our sin – throughout all of time and for eternity.

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world. – I John 2:2

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. – Revelation 13:8
