Of course his purpose is to bring an end to sin, and His love required that He provide an antidote for the curse, which He did in Christ.
This line of thought brings to mind where Jesus said, "...if you fathers being evil (in comparison to Himself) know how to give good gifts to your children, how MUCH MORE will your Heavenly Father give..." If we love are moved with compassion for the unfortunate, how much more is He moved? And He has the power to do and to continue to do something about it. No where in Scripture does it say that physical death is the end of God's reaching for His creation.
