If God gave us the power to choose freely to sin or not to sin, then He gave us power over life and death

Yes He did. You can follow Him and live. Or reject Him and die. That is your choice. He does not make that choice for you.

Then there is no need for the Incarnation, since it is within man's power to determine whether he lives or dies. Is that what you are saying?
