"If there should be no atonement, mankind is lost." Mankind being lost is a harsh statement, but in this context it's very true. God created humans, and humans created sin. It would be perfectly fine of God to say "Well, you guys screwed it up, you are on your own." But he didn't-he gave us His son to take the penalty for sin so we don't have to. If it wasn't for Christ atoning for us, we would truly be lost.
Why did God create humans in the first place if he knew that we would just sin and ruin things? Can't God see the future? This is a perfectly legit question and when I die, I hope to get the chance to ask Him of this. Just because we have questions doesn't mean we throw everything out of course, and I'm not going to put God on trial, but I can't wait to get this one answered.
