It was the teaching of St. Bonaventure, a Doctor of the Church, as well as Blessed John Duns Scotus that, even if Adam had not sinned, Jesus would still have come to show us how to love as God desires us to love.

Jesus came to pay for our sins because it was in GOD’s PLAN for our salvation. God, in His unfathomable Wisdom,could have had an infinite number of plans for our salvation but HE selected the plan that HE executed. It must have been the one HE preferred.
What about the timeliness? Sorry, GOD does not wear a watch.

If Adam had not sinned there would not been any need for Jesus to come and save us. The problem was that women were created that has led to sin and turmoil.
