I believe the book of Hebrews covers this question quite well:
Hebrews 9:25-27 (King James Version)
25Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world:
but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Hebrews 10:10
By the which will we are sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
The work of the Cross is complete, the blood is not being applied over and over, it was once and for all. The work of salvation is complete, from God's perspective. Man only needs enter into to the salvation, and each will, each in his own time.
When the priest entered the Holy of Holies to apply the blood, once a year, all Israel's sins were covered for another year. Jesus' blood as once and for ALL replaced the "blood of bulls and goats".
