God instructed Adam and Eve, about His commandments, otherwise they could not have sinned.
He taught them, they disobeyed and therefore, were cast out of the garden.
We know that Adam sinned, because we are told in Romans5:12, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, or that all have sinned."
In addition, the word sin is used eight times
(Strongs Concordance) before Exodus 20. What is Sin? I John 3:4 tells us, "Whosoever committeth sin trangresseth also the law:
FOR SIN
IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF
THE LAW." The law of God that
was in effect was the Ten Commandment
Law.

I like the way you think. 
Yet some think our salvation is unconditional.
Although there are conditions, are there not?
For instance if we deny Christ he will deny us...that's a condition
If we love him/we will obey his commands...another condition
We must believe in Christ and make effort to know him within an intimate relationship,
not just go through the motions lest he may say depart from me I never knew you.
While Gods love for us may be unconditional, I do see there are conditions and repercussions for not following said conditions as laid out in his word.

Now, what in the world does that mean?
Faith is a gift (Php 1:29; 2Pe 1:1; Ac 18:27), by grace, through the new birth (Jn 3:5),
through which we receive the free gift of salvation (Eph 2:8-9).
All those things that some call conditions (obedience, perseverance, etc.) are really
the expressions (manifestations) of true faith, of a faith that is not dead, as James would say.
If these expressions (manifestations) of faith are not in our life, that shows (manifests) that
our faith is not true, it is counterfeit (Mt 7:21-23), we have not been born again.
If these manifestations are in our life, that shows that our faith is true,
because true faith obeys.
In fact, "belief" and "obedience" are the same word in NT Greek.
While yes, we are a slave being bought but also Christ called us friends since a slave doesn't know his master's business.
A friend being submissive to the one in authority over them yet knowing the masters business is very similar to a wife/ husband relationship. She is submissive to his authority while still knowing his business.
And between now and then they are both friends within that same relationship.
It's kinda like, You can be friends with your boss, but when it comes down to it, He's still the boss.
He's still the one that provides everything, and we have a job to do.
We may not always like or agree with the duties or timelines entailed within our occupation.
But if we rebelliously refuse to fulfill the purpose of our existence without grumbling or complaining
Well...What course of action have we forced the boss to take.

"Purchased, bought back, redemption" are all OT terms of slavery used throughout the NT regarding what Christ accomplished on the cross for us in relation to God's justice; i.e., condemnation (Ro 8:1), God's wrath (Ro 5:9), eternal death, sin, etc.
Paul does not mean these terms as a description of our relation to God as our Father.
In that relationship, we are neither slaves nor servants, we are sons.
