The account of Adam and Eve's disobedience to God explains the reason for our

NEED of a savior.

God created the earth for man (Acts 17:26)(Psalm 115:16). Adam and Eve had the prospect of everlasting life on a paradise earth(Genesis 1:28), but chose to listen to Satan, rebel and disobey their creator(Genesis 2:15-17)(Genesis 3:1-7)(Genesis 3:17-19), becoming IMperfect and thereby bringing sin and death to any descendants they might have (Romans 5:12)(Job 14:4). The first prophecy in The Bible spoke of God's correcting this problem by sending someone (a 'messiah' or 'anointed one')who would ultimately destroy the instigator. The devil.(Genesis 3:15) In the meantime, sin is deadly (Romans 6:23) and costs dearly, bringing pain and suffering to all mankind. This "messiah" would first be needed to balance the scales of justice, "pay the ransom" and make the ultimate sacrifice (John 15:13)(John 10:11)(Ephesians 5:2), which was pre-figured through the Mosaic Law and it's sacrifices (Hebrews 9:1-10:10). This 'messiah', a perfect man (as Adam had been), faithful and obedient, would be sent to replace Adam who'd sinned(1 Corinthians 15:22,45+47), life for life (Exodus 21:23-25)(Isaiah 53:1-12) . In the eyes of Christians, Jesus was this 'Christ'(Messiah), and savior of faithful mankind.(Matthew 16:16)(1Timothy 2:5+6; Ephesians 1:7)(Isaiah 59:2/Romans 5:11)(John 3:16). The account of Adam and Eve explains why his sacrifice was necessary.
