I may be wrong, but I believe that God loved us so much He gave us choice.
From day one we have always had freedom and choice. He needed to see if we were faithful and true to His commands and we failed the test. He loved us too much to just "wipe us out" right then in there.
Some people believe God is only wrath and fury, but in fact is the complete opposite. He allowed us the freedom to make the decision to love Him, obey Him, and trust His word. That day forward it was known by Adam and Eve both that they could trust in His word and better or their could be serious consequences. They had to be made believers of God in order to demonstrate His truth, love, and mercy.
The story of Adam and Eve remind me of my children. I love my children so much, but at times they make bad decisions. Even if I know that they are going to choose the wrong path I still have to let them live and learn. When they disobey me I do get angry but love them no less than before. In order to insure my children will make a good decision by THEIR OWN choice I have to let them learn the hard way sometimes. (Usually most effective too.) In the bad decision itself holds consequences that are punishment enough. On top of the consequences of their decision has to come additional punishment strategies to show them I'm serious about my rules, what I say I do, and that they need to mind for their own good. Maybe this is what God is trying to show us?
We are children of God. He loves us unconditionally.
