When Christ died on the cross, He atoned for every sin of every man from every time; the infinite debt which we owed, the infinite breach in our relationship with the infinite God, was paid and healed and restored. The gates of Heaven, which Adam's sin closed, were opened to us again.
So the cross did nothing more than make salvation possible..
