Don't you think we do have a part in that we need to accept Jesus if we want this forgiveness of sin? If we are outside of Christ - does his blood cover us? I'm thinking not - but I may be confused.
Yep, this forgiveness of sins has been purchased for everybody by Jesus Christ, but salvation is much, much more than forgiveness of sin. What we need is "life," and the only way anybody receives life is by being "born again" through faith in Jesus.
We were born in Adam, alive to sin and dead to God. But through faith in Christ we've been made dead to sin and alive to God.
