1 John 2:1-2
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
We are saved from the world into the church, through the Sacrifice of Jesus; but we are being kept through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last day, through the High Priesthood of Jesus.
The Atonement brings justification unto righteousness; the High Priesthood brings sanctification unto holiness (see 1 Thes 5:23).
Therefore, for the unbeliever, Jesus has taken care of their sins as the Lamb, the sacrifice. He is not their Advocate. He cannot advocate anything for them. He cannot sanctify them. What they need is to accept that sacrifice by believing in Him. So they may be justified. That's what propitiation is for.
When an unbeliever has done that and believed. All his sins are forgiven and he has been brought into a new covenant with the High Priest who is His advocate, fully justified.
Old things pass away and all things become new.
The one who justified him from all things past including his PAST SINS (those committed under the old covenant or in the old life as in the case of non-Jews who were never under the old covenant), NOW SANCTIFIES HIM as the High Priest or advocate before God, by the blood of sprinkling.
For the believer, Jesus is both the Atonement that dealt with the old life and the Advocate that is the Apostle of his new life and the High Priest of the new covenant.
Jesus died to save the world, but He lives only for His Church.
