If everything is part of God's plan, then Adam and Eve sinning against God is as much an intended part of that plan as the devil and his minions offending God and being thrown out of heaven in the first place.
For without our mortality, which we earned through the sin of Adam and Eve seeking eternal life from the serpent so they could "become like God," no one would ever need to pray or depend on God for anything.
The only way God could make us to need him, the only way God could make us feel we must depend on him, is if he and he alone can promise us something he and he alone claims he can provide us.
And for Christians, that means the gift of eternal life.
And by obtaining "eternal life," Christians hope to become "like God."
In other words, for the Christian to get to heaven, they have to believe the same lie the serpent told Adam and Eve.
No wonder the pope wears a hat that makes him resemble a King Cobra, and Jesus called the temple priests "a brood of vipers."
This also explains why the devil was free to use his free will not to have to obey God - because he wasn't dependent on God, so he could use his "free will" as freely as he wished.
