Do you know THE declared WILL of GOD since you understand that JESUS came speaking all that THE FATHER said and you question why all are not hearing HIM, than you must believe that all that JESUS said is TRUTH and SALVATION to all who listen to HIM
Youll find the declared WILL (and WORK) of GOD in John 6

You seem to think that Jesus finished ALL His work on the cross, past present and future ---I don't. Certainly all was included for our salvation but WE are not yet completed, finished and perfected...are we ? HE finished what HE could do for us as a man...die in our stead...nobody can add anything to that...but He is back now working in the Spirit.
Jeremiah 31 has not happened for all because all have not heard THE VOICE of THE SON of GOD and have believed
the call of all the prophets pointing the hearts of the people back to GOD was this:
if today you hear HIS VOICE...harden not your hearts
look i stand at THE DOOR and knock if anyone hears MY Voice and opens the DOOR I will come in and eat with him and he with me
by the NEW COVENANT no one will need to tell another KNOW THE LORD...for HE sprinkle them with clean water and remember their sins no mor
and from the least to the greatest they shall all be taught by GOD
THAT IS, those who have heard HIS COUCE and have believed

once again, according to scripture.
3 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth,[a] before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you[b] as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?— 6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”[c]7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.”[d] 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
The Law Brings a Curse
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”[e] 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”[f] 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”[g]
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”[h]), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Purpose of the Law
19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. 22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring usto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
I think this says it all
1. It says why (to expose we have sinned and fall short of Gods glory)
2. It says the purpose (to lead us to Christ)
3. It says the meaning (cursed is everyone who does no t obey ever word perfectly)
4. Is says the consequence for whoever does not obey perfectly (cursed)
5. It says what Christ did (redeemed us from the curse)
6 it says how the law related to those who have been redeemed (no longer under the law, it has been fulfilled in them)
7. It says what the Bible says about those who think they have been saved by faith, who teach it, but must be perfected Maintain that salvation by the law (calls them fools)
what more can be said? The rest of scripture agrees with all of these points, Paul just put them all in one area so we can see them all at once,

Hebrews 10:14
For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
Yes, we are.. And all because of the cross.
You need to study the law. And find out again, what atonement means, and the price of it.
