I'm sorry but that is, unfortunately, a common misinterpretation of this verse. To see the Truth one simply has to ask two questions:
1) How many times did Jesus die on the cross?
2) For how many people did he die on the cross?
If Jesus forgave sins past, present, and future (without a person acknowledging and truly repenting from sins) then there would have been no need for Him to tell the people He healed to go and sin no more. His sacrifice was not a license to continue leading a sinful life, doing whatever we want. That is one reason He says to count the cost.
