The Eternal Purpose of Creation !

All things that have been made that includes some Angels, were made for Christ Salvation. Heb 1:13-14

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
 
In Gods Eternal Purpose which was determined before the world was created Eph 3:11

11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

Within this Purpose God had already determined to gather together all things in Christ Eph 1:9-10

9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:


10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

So the sin of Adam was purposed by God before the world was created. Adam didn't sin by accident, nor did he sin contrary to Gods will. Adam sinned according to a redemptive purpose in Christ established in God before the world began. 16
 
Christ foreordained before the foundation of the world !

1 Pet 1:18-20

18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;


19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:


20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

Gods Elect were in Gods purpose to be redeemed by Christ's Blood before the foundation of the world. It tells us in vs 20 Christ was foreordained for this redemptive purpose BEFORE the foundation of the world. This means that before adam was created and sinned, Christ was already set up to be manifested in the last times to shed His redeeming Blood.

So why do so many in mans religion believe that it wasn't Gods will for adam to sin according to Gods Eternal purpose in Christ Jesus ? Would God rather not adam to sin even though He had foreordained Christ before the world was created to redeem His elect by His Blood.
 
All things were made for and by Christ His redemptive purpose !

Col 1:14-17

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:


15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:


16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:


17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

All things created by Him and for Him includes adam in the beginning. Adam was made by Him for His redemptive purpose, from sin. Gods Highest Honor and Glory was to be through the redemptive work of Christ and not in adam as an innocent.

Proverbs agrees Prov 16:4

4The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

The LORD here is the Triune Godhead, which includes Christ, and so He Christ made Adam for Himself, for a redemptive purpose from sin. 17
