When we inquire to what sins the atonement of Christ referred, the answer obviously is, that sins after conversion, as well as before it, were, without exception, expiated. If, indeed, provision were not made for the remission of all sins, great and small, for daily recurring sins during the course of the Christian's life, as well as for sins committed during the time of impenitence, what would the atonement avail? The Lord meant that His blood was shed for all sin.
George Smeaton — The Doctrine of the Atonement, as Taught by Christ Himself (Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark, 1868), p. 334
