Adam and Eve needed no redemption until they disobeyed God. Then Sin entered unto the world (Genesis 3:1-13)

So Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden after eating the forbidden fruit. (Genesis 3:22-24) So we read Paul's letter to the Romans (Romans 5:12) "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." Also Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." So all mankind is under the death penalty of Sin and must be redeemed and only the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ will do this (Ephesians 1:7), "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace."

Again, Paul says in Romans 3:24, "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus."

Read Hebrews 9:22 Galatians 3:22 teaches us that we are all under Sin. We must accept the redemption price paid for us on the cross, as He (Jesus) took our Sins upon Himself and opened Heavens doors if we would only believe and trust Him for buying us back to His Father by His vicarious death on the cavalry.

A small boy built a small toy boat and painted it blood red. One day down by the river he was sailing his small boat. He was doing fine until it got too far out in the river and the current took it quickly out of his sight.

One day the little boy and his dad were some hundred miles down the river and saw a gift shop on Main Street and the little boy saw his boat.

He said, "Dad, there's my little boat."

The father said to his son "No son, the law of the river is that whatever floats down the river, it belongs to the one who finds it."

The little fellow said "Dad. I am going in and buy back my little boat."

So he did and when he came out his father heard him say as he held his little boat "You were mine, I made you, I lost you and now I have bought you back, now you are truly mine."

The story is exactly what happened to mankind. God made us, He lost us in the garden and Now he has bought us back by the shed of blood of his precious son, Jesus.
