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.

God did not kill Adam and Eve because they were his creation. Killing them would serve no purpose..........but showing mercy by letting them live........with a punishment...........served as a lesson. God is compassionate.........but his rules are firm. Follow the rules........Garden of Eden. Break them........you're on your own.

@anythingoes477 letting them live with a punishment? Like their grand-grand -grand-grand-grand-grandchildren living in the same world as a person getting tortured and killed?

If that didn't teach them a lesson, I don't know what would. 🙄
