He wants to help us so that we do not have to face the problems created by our sin. Even if we fail, God will help us get up and go on and can turn what Satan meant for evil into good. However, it is better that we do not fall into the pit to begin with as we will be spared much suffering and sorrow. God certainly will forgive our sins and cleanse us from our guilt and shame. However, we must walk through the consequences of our sins.
Some consequences are greater than others.
There is an example of this in the Bible. And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. Esau was the oldest son and the father's inheritance went to the first born as his birthright. In those days whatever a man agreed to with his lips was done. For a little bowl of lentil soup, Esau lost his birthright.
