If the blood of Christ only covers the sins that are past we're all in serious trouble, because we would have lost our salvation the first day we were saved when we sinned, because Christ cannot be reoffered for sin (Hebrews 6:6) . As for your reference to Hebrews, the background is the defiant sin of Numbers 15:30-31 for which there was no propitiatory offering. If a person rejects the truth of Christ's death for sin, there is no other sacrifice for sin available and no other way to come to God. Only judgment remains (Hebrews 10:27). As for your references to I John, we should obey the commandments of God, but if we mess up, we have a proptiation in Jesus Christ (I John 2:2)
