Why didn't God forgive Adam and Eve?
If God sent his only son to die on the cross for the Forgiveness of our sins, then why didn't God just forgive Adam and Eve? And save himself the trouble of having his son die on the cross.

Because the wages of sin is death. God is just and justice must be served. He took the very penalty for sin so that anyone who would repent and believe would have forgiveness.
Most people don't want a relationship with God. The cross is a gift they will not accept because they cannot accept that their sins deserve death in the first place. People want their sins accepted, not worthy of death, not forgiven through Christ. They want sins to be enjoyed, not condemned.
We have sinful flesh until we die. The only question is, will we be forgiven or did we justify our sins and not ask for the forgiveness God offers?
