One of the key cardinal truths of the Gospel is this 1 Cor 15:3-4
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Now in order for this to be true, there must have been a legal union established, in which legally the sins of those for whom Christ died, became legally His by Imputation. He must have been legally one with them, as for instance as a Husband is legally one with His Wife, Eph 5:23-25
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
See Christ was the legal head of the church, even prior to His actual giving of Himself for it in time. Paul likens it a Mystery Eph 5:30-32
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Was not Eve a member of Adams flesh and bones prior to her becoming visibly manifested and then being deceived by the serpent ?
