RE: Pascal's Wager
I believe God is omnipotent, just not in the way defined at Nicaea. To me, omnipotence is being able to do everything that is possible, just as omniscience is knowing all that can be known. This excludes, in the latter case, things such as infallible knowledge of the future acts of free agents
This leads nicely into your question concerning the necessity of Christ's "sacrifice." Simply put, it allowed humanity to overcome two deaths: physical and spiritual. Through Christ's resurrection, all will be resurrected. Through his atonement, all who repent can be forgiven. In this way, God's justice and mercy remain intact. (See resources listed under each term here for further information. Let me know if you have questions.)
