If all sin isn't atoned for wouldn't Jesus need to come back and be crucified again. And shouldn't we be make sacrifices regularly until such time?
Salvation doesn't mean we aren't to strive against sin but that we are freed from it's penalty and daily are being freed from it's power. Eventually, in glory, we will be removed from its presence.
Hallelujah.

sin being atoned for doesn’t change this
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
Galatians 5:16, 19-21 KJV
If We keep Living in sin we have no inheritance we have a choice to make
“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin:
but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death,
or of obedience unto righteousness?”
Romans 6:12-13, 15-16 KJV
Christian’s can say” all my ongoing sin is already atoned for there’s nothing I need to do “
or they can hear the truth and accept repentance and salvation and stop yielding tbier body to serve sin d start yielding their body to serve God as we are created to do and live
if we keep serving sin this is going to happen
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
Romans 8:12-
we can’t keep serving satans Will which is sin and expect we aren’t going to reap what we are sowing that is not what the atonement is for
it’s for those who acknolwedge thier sins and repent that’s who salvstion is for d why he’s being so patient with us
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 KJV
why should we need to repent what’s that have to do with perishing ? Same thing Paul said there if we keep
Living after the flesh we’re going to perish if we repent well live but as long as we keep rejecting the truth we’re never going to repent d be saved
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:3
the atonement is perfect and complete that doesn’t mean we don’t have to do what God taught us we have to do Acknolwedgong e truth of repentance is what leads us there s long as we continue to make sin acceptable and repentance not necassary we won’t ever repent if we accept it’s truth and basis on the doctrine we will because we’re believers
the bottom line is grace saves us through faith and this includes teaching us to repent of doing evil and start to do the Will of God found in the gospel
Jesus blood is sufficient , if we choose sin it’s not that his blood is insufficient it’s that we have been found out. We have to repent and the way to do it is to start accepting what Jesus told us
“in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
2 Timothy 2:25-26 KJV
We have an escape but we have to hear it
