So, there's a wonderful thirteenth-century commentator that says that God needed creatures who could choose to obey him, And therefore it was important for Adam and Eve to do what they did And to learn that they had the choice not to obey God so that their choice for God would become endowed with meaning.

十三世纪有一位著名的评论家说,上帝需要有能力选择遵从他的生物，因此，夏娃亚当做他们所做的事情很重要,并发现他们可以选择不遵从上帝,那么他们对上帝的遵从便有了意义。
